Uri Geller has revealed he will use his mystic powers to spur Scotland to victory nearly 30 years after he ruined their chances at Euro 96 - but he admitted that even he is 'not a miracle worker'.
The infamous spoon-pest, 77, historically sparked fury from Scots fans when he moved the ball as Gary McAllister ran up to take a crucial penalty against England in at Wembley - that would have made the score 1-1.
But the mystifier says that he has received tens of thousands of hate letters - but he says the nation have now rallied behind him and he and even claimed supporters are now descending on Munich in kit bearing his name.
And his feelings of guilt for meddling in the past are now spurring him on to join the Tartan Army - and he says he will be wearing a tartan shirt as he supports them from his museum in Tel Aviv.
Uri told MailOnline: 'Obviously I will be with Scotland, because since that infamous goal where I managed to move the ball away from Gary McAllister's foot. You know, I always try to help Scotland.

'I will definitely send my powers, my energies to Scotland. It's going to be tough, because it's away in Munich.
'My instructions to all the Scottish fans is to send all their power, all their energy, all the motivation that they can amass in their brain, and shoot it all the way to Munich.
'And whoever Is there just project positive energy and visualize Scotland scoring goals. If Scotland visualizes tonight, they visualize their players scoring goals, they will score goals.
'I will try, you know, I'm not a miracle worker, but I will try to make sure the score goes their way.'
Uri says that he is particularly focused on supporting ace midfielder John McGinn, saying 'there is magic in him' - and he says that he will be targeting German ace Toni Kroos in a bid to help the side in blue.
He has said Scots fans wanting to help from home can hold onto their lucky charms to give their boys the best chance.
And the the self-proclaimed psychic - who owns the Scottish island of Lamb - slammed the team's coach Steve Clarke for not calling him ahead of the game, but says that he was likely too 'afraid' to take his advice.
He continued: 'If you have any good luck charms, because I believe that good luck charms are a tool for your mind, keep them out today in your living rooms, hold them.
'To the fans who are already there, I hope they they took their positive good luck charms with them.

'I wish that Steve Clark would have called me and allowed me to motivate the players the team. But as you know, managers and coaches and trainers and all this, they're afraid of controversy.
'If Steve Clark gives me a call - and I urge him to - his team will get far. They will be winning matches. He has nothing to lose, only to gain.'
In 1996 Uri famously hovered over Wembley Stadium in a helicopter as the home side lead by a tenuous goal 12 minutes from time.
And indeed the ball bobbled slightly from the spot as Gary McAllister struck it - allowing David Seaman's save.
He has a real passion for women's football - his wife Hanna loves the game and his granddaughters Romi and Liya - who live in America - are passionate players.
But after the infamous game against Scotland he claims to have had around 11,000 hate messages - and Spanish fans have been no less forgiving.
