Yes.
De Jure isnt De facto.
If Northern Ireland can pull it off is because they have an EU member backing them up.
The opposite is true with Scotland, they have an EU member opposing them.
Scotland has no way to negotiate such an arrangement with the UK, if they threaten to leave the UK Spain will make sure they never get EU membership.
