Now, ahead of Scotland's final fixture of the group stage, the Tartan Army are making their presence known at another destination: Miami, where the team will face Brazil on Wednesday.
The Marlins hosted Scotland's supporters organization at their game against the Texas Rangers on Monday. It was part of a "Tartan Army ticket package" the Marlins posted Sunday.
Festivities for the game included a pregame march, a performance by Nick Morgan -- who released "No Scotland, No Party" ahead of the 2024 Euro competition -- and a first pitch from injured Scotland midfielder Billy Gilmour. However, one benefit for the Tartan Army came from being punctual. The first 250 members of the organization received a voucher for one free beer.
