The Tartan Army went wild when Scotland secured their first World Cup victory in 36 years at Boston Stadium on Saturday night and among the crowds the player’s proud families could be seen joining in on the celebrations.
Scotland won 1-0 against Haiti in their first World Cup match since 1998 with John McGinn scoring on the 28th minute, leading us to victory.
After their win, the Scotland squad could be seen reuniting with their families and children in the stadium in emotional scenes.

Scotland’s 1-0 win against Haiti last night sent them to the top of group C after Brazil and Morocco drew 1-1 yesterday. It came as a vital victory to Scots as a draw would have left them almost definitely needing to beat either Brazil or Morocco to progress to the knockout stages for the first time in history.
However, they now stand a far better chance of succeeding.
Scotland’s second match on Friday (June 19) is against Morocco before they face the toughest team of the three, Brazil, on Wednesday (June 24).
Scotland’s Morocco game will kick off at 11pm BST in Boston Stadium next week.
