Summary
More than 8,000 Tartan Army supporters bought tickets for Monday night’s Marlins-Rangers game, turning a baseball stop into a major World Cup side event in Miami.
The visit is part of Scotland fans’ buildup to Wednesday’s 6 p.m. match against Brazil at Miami Stadium, with supporters expected to gather on Calle Ocho before marching to loanDepot Park.
The Marlins planned a Scotland-themed program around the crowd, including a 5:45 p.m. performance of “No Scotland No Party,” a 6 p.m. on-field parade and a ceremonial first pitch by midfielder Billy Gilmour.
At least 8,000 Scottish fans are in South Florida for the tournament, with additional events expected in Little Havana and Miami Beach as the Tartan Army makes its presence felt beyond soccer.
