Yeeah it seems to have become part of the tartan army 'uniform'. The first non wool kilt I saw was advertised as 'excellent for going to football and rugby in".
There was a classic picture on the front page of one of the tabloids from the World Cup in France in 1998. We suffered a glorious defeat to Brazil in the opening game. The next morning there was a (whole page) picture of a pair of kilted legs sticking out a hedge or bush after a night of revellry! Excellent!
