Gordon Reid says Scotland have a real belief they can beat Australia and advance to the World Cup semi-finals.
Vern Cotter's team head into Sunday's quarter-final at Twickenham as underdogs, following Australia's impressive 15-6 victory over Wales on Saturday.
Many have written off Scotland's chances in London this weekend but Reid, 28, says his side can cause a major upset.
"It would mean everything to get that chance to play this weekend," said the Glasgow prop.
"The win against Samoa in our final group match and even just being there to have those memories was amazing.
"It's not just any team we are up against this weekend, it's Australia - one of the biggest teams in the world.
"But we've got a bit of belief about us now. Our first objective was to get through to the quarters and now it's knock-out rugby. Anything can happen.
"Everyone is writing us off as underdogs. I don't care. It's awesome. Just look at the movies. It's always the underdog who wins - just look at the Mighty Ducks. We can be those Mighty Ducks.
"This is the position we relish being in. Hopefully we can go out and do ourselves proud at Twickenham."
Scotland successfully qualified for the knockout stages after seeing off competition for second place from Samoa and Japan.
The Scots' only Pool B defeat came against eventual group winners South Africa, an impressive return for a side that finished bottom of this year's Six Nations without a point.
Scotland's last semi-final appearance came 24 years ago at the 1991 World Cup, which was also hosted by England.
And whilst winger Tommy Seymour admits improvements still need to be made, he insists his side have a real chance of beating the Wallabies and advancing to the last four.
"The belief is there in the squad," he said.
"I thought it was there before the World Cup too. We came off the back of a Six Nations we weren't happy with. Were we shaken by that? There was certainly a knock and a disappointment after it.
"Unfortunately the way the world works is that if you don't put results in, the doubters come in and want to have their say. You can't throw it back in their face because results are there in black and white. There's no ambiguity.
"But we regrouped quickly and put the past behind us. We went through warm-up games and the group stages of this competition collecting a few wins along the way and that breeds confidence.
"We had to win a different way against Samoa compared to the wins over Japan and US. It was a narrow margin but that certainly does help create a psyche where you become aware of the ability in yourself to win tight games.
"So going up against Australia, we know it's going to be a hugely physical game and one we will have to be at our peak to win.
"The Samoa game has warned us about the things we have to do right. But we know when the clock is ticking if we do the right things we can come out on top."
