Fancy Scottish side to get medals abroad (6,6)

I believe the answer is:

purple hearts

'medals abroad' is the definition.
(US military medals)

'fancy scottish side' is the wordplay.
'fancy' becomes 'purple'.
'scottish side' becomes 'hearts' (nickname of Heart of Midlothian FC).
'purple'+'hearts'='PURPLE HEARTS'

'to get' is the link.
