The Tartan Army has begun to descend on the Sunshine State as they make their way south from Boston. After a week in New England making a huge mark in Boston, Scotland supporters are now gathering in Miami ahead of the county’s biggest match in a generation.
Steve Clarke’s men know that a point against Brazil at the Hard Rock Stadium should be enough to take them through to the knock-out stages of a major tournament at the 13th time of asking.
And, as they did across New England, the Tartan Army are starting to take over Florida’s most famous city with the sound of bagpipes ringing out around Miami.
The early arrivals have begun to make themselves at home and several have gathered at The Auld Dubliner Irish Pub & Kitchen in Downtown Miami.
In a video shared online, the Scots can be seen getting ready to party as a piper leads a rendition of Scotland the Brave through the bar.
He marches through the pub with revellers in Scotland jerseys clapping along. Saltires can be seen waving alongside the US flag while several people have their phones out to record the moment.
Thousands of Tartan Army foot soldiers are expected to make their way to Miami over the next few days as they bring the party south from Boston.

Scotland face Brazil at the Hard Rock Stadium on Wednesday, June 24 at 11pm Scotland time in what promises to be the biggest game for the country in decades.
A win for Steve Clarke‘s men would guarantee a spot in the last 32. Anything less and the Scots would face a nervy wait to see if they have done enough to progress as one of the best third-placed teams.
