With just hours to go until Scotland’s opening World Cup match, anticipation is building across the city that has become a temporary home for the Tartan Army.
Scotland will play Haiti in their first World Cup encounter in 28 years. The long-anticipated match will kick-off at the Boston Stadium in Foxborough at 21:00 local time, 02:00 in Scotland.
It is estimated that between 20,000 to 30,000 thousands fans have travelled to Boston for the match.
They are now being joined by a last-minute influx of fans staying further afield in areas such as New York and Rhode Island.
“It’s a Scotland invasion, absolutely everyone is here. I don’t know how there’s anyone left at home,” said David Martin, 28, from Glasgow.
He added: “I quit my job to be here, I couldn’t miss it. I missed out on on the Euros so I wasn’t going to let that happen again.”
