I really don't think it is the case that when he doesn't play well he's referred to as Scottish rather than British. I think it is widely known that he is Britain's new up and coming tennis star and is Scottish.

I don't know - and it's not something to moan about really, merely an observation.
Here is another example - why refer to her as Welsh? When Stephen Fry (for example) took over as host of HIGNFY, he wasn't introduced as an 'English comedian'.
It's all very trivial and is drifting off topic but I'm just pointing these things out as contributary factors as to why many celts feel alienated from the English (and thread like this spring up).
