Scotland opens World Cup campaign against Haiti in Boston
Summary

Scotland begins its World Cup journey against Haiti at the Gillette Stadium in Boston on June 14 at 2am BST. This marks Scotland's return to the tournament for the first time since 1998. The team hopes to capitalize on any mistakes from higher-ranked teams Brazil and Morocco, who are also in their group. Scotland had a strong build-up with wins against Curacao and Bolivia, while Haiti is looking to prove itself after a long absence from the World Cup since 1974. Key players for Scotland include Scott McTominay, who is expected to be fit despite a recent scare.
