Tartan Army descend on Massachusetts for long-awaited finals return

A historic World Cup tie will take centre stage tonight as Scotland kick off their group stage campaign, facing Haiti in Boston. For the Scots, who have travelled to New England en masse and drank the city dry in a matter of hours, it is a first finals appearance since 1998, when they were dumped out in the group stage following defeats by Brazil and Morocco. They have never progressed from the group stage in eight previous visits to a World Cup, but with victory tonight, they stand a very good chance of doing exactly that.

Haiti, meanwhile, grace the global stage tonight for just the second time, their only previous finals appearance coming in 1974. The Grenadiers’ qualification campaign was disrupted somewhat by political unrest back home, meaning all their matches were played either away or on neutral ground in Curacao, but they overcame the circumstances to cruise through and book their place at the finals.
