Boston has transformed into a sea of tartan as thousands of Scotland supporters flood the city ahead of their World Cup opener against Haiti. Captain Andy Robertson delivered a clear message to unite the squad and fans: "I don't want any regrets." The traveling support, fresh off their memorable campaign at Euro 2024, represents Scotland's first World Cup appearance since 1998.

Scotland faces genuine injury concerns with Billy Gilmour ruled out and defender Scott McKenna unavailable for Saturday's crucial match. Midfielder Scott McTominay missed training with stomach issues but manager Steve Clarke confirmed he's "ready to go" after recovering. Haiti arrives with their own drama, having changed kits just days ago due to FIFA regulations.

Historically, Scotland's World Cup record shows just four wins across eight previous tournaments, with no knockout stage appearances. They need three points against Haiti to keep hopes alive before facing Morocco and Brazil. The weight of expectation sits heavily on Clarke's squad, who must deliver where previous generations failed.

The Tartan Army's presence in Boston signals this could finally be Scotland's breakthrough moment. With their captain leading from the front and supporters creating an atmosphere reminiscent of Euro 2024's best moments, Scotland has the platform to end 28 years of World Cup frustration.
