With the Scottish independence referendum just five days away, one of the country's most famous citizens has finally had his say on the vote. Groundskeeper Willie, the beloved Simpsons character, has revealed that he supports a Yes vote in Thursday's poll - and has offered to become the first leader of an independent Scotland. The groundskeeper, who is portrayed as an exaggerated version of a stereotypical Scot, said in a campaign video that he intended to 'stand in the proud tradition of William Wallace and Andy Murray'. However, unfortunately for Willie, as a resident of the US he would be unable to vote in the referendum.
