Rosie Kelly Smith celebrates Scotland win as Lorraine Kelly shares 1-0 joy

lorraine kelly had Scotland on her screen in the early hours. Her daughter, Rosie Kelly Smith, was in Marbella marking her hen-do when the 1-0 win over Haiti landed, and she answered with a poolside post that folded football into the wedding weekend.

Rosie, 32, captioned the photo “Hen and Scotland Win,” while wearing a bikini with a towel bearing a kilt around her waist. The match gave Scotland its first World Cup win in 36 years, and John McGinn’s goal in the 28th minute was enough to send them to the top of Group C after Brazil and Morocco drew 1-1.

Marbella, poolside, and a kilt towel

Rosie Kelly Smith shared the image on Instagram during the hen celebrations, and Lorraine Kelly re-shared it to her Stories. She also posted photos of Scotland’s win on television, turning a family milestone into a second screen for the result that mattered most to her that morning.

Rosie has had plenty of football-adjacent shorthand in the build-up to her wedding. In a video from the hen-do, she said: “So my Dad is called Steve and the man that I'm marrying, sounds very grown up, is called Steve so tonight on the hen do is the night of Steves.” The costumes leaned into that idea, with Steven Gerrard, Steve Irwin, Steve Martin, Steve Harrington and Steve Coogan among the outfits on show.

June 2024 to next month

June 2024 set the timeline in motion when Rosie and Steve White became engaged. August 2024 brought their daughter Billie, who is expected to be flower girl when they marry next month in Perthshire. Rosie previously said the guest list would be “our family, his family and friends,” which keeps the wedding tight even as the football result gave the weekend a wider audience.

The bigger point is the overlap between private celebration and national relief: Scotland’s drought of World Cup wins lasted 36 years, and this one arrived as Rosie was posting from a hen-do, not a stadium seat. Lorraine, married to Steve Smith for almost 34 years, has now turned a routine family update into a clean snapshot of how sport still breaks through ordinary timelines. For Scotland, the takeaway is simple: the win changes the group table immediately, and any follow-up result now carries far more weight.
