Here is the latest update from the ongoing FIFA World Cup as of 2026-06-23 03:05:00.
Last week, Scotland’s Tartan Army lit up Boston during the national team’s opening matches in the FIFA World Cup 2026. As their final group stage game approaches in the south, the Tartan Army brought their enthusiasm to Miami.
Support for the Marlins
The Miami Marlins welcomed Scotland’s supporters organization during their game against the Texas Rangers on Monday. This event was part of a “Tartan Army ticket package” announced by the Marlins.
The game featured a lively pregame march, a concert by Nick Morgan—known for his track “No Scotland, No Party” released for the 2024 Euro competition—and a ceremonial first pitch thrown by injured midfielder Billy Gilmour. The highlight for the Tartan Army was a free beer voucher offered to the first 250 attendees.
Community Spirit and Presence
Unsurprisingly, the Tartan Army arrived in droves, some even playing bagpipes on the field before the game. Fans were spotted singing and chanting as starting pitcher Tyler Phillips took the mound. One lucky supporter even caught a foul ball. Videos showcased fans marching through Little Havana, playing bagpipes near the concession stands at Loan Depot Park.
The Marlins game saw an attendance of 20,008, ranking as the eighth-highest for the club this season, as reported by ESPN Research. Miami lost the match 4-3.
In Boston, the Tartan Army was also celebrated during “Scotland Day” on June 14, drawing at least 5,000 fans to Fenway Park, where “The Flower of Scotland” was sung following the U.S. national anthem. Furthermore, the parent company of Sam Adams reported a sellout of Boston Lager during Scotland’s first weekend in the city.
Scotland’s national team played two matches in Boston, achieving a 1-0 victory against Haiti and a 1-0 defeat to Morocco. They are set to face Brazil in Miami on Wednesday, with a chance to advance to the knockout stages still in play. One thing remains certain: the Tartan Army will be ready for battle.
