Twenty-eight years and the Tartan Army are back
Scotland’s last World Cup was France 1998. Almost three decades of near misses and qualifying heartbreaks ended with Steve Clarke’s squad finally getting it done. The Tartan Army travel better than anyone and they are about to descend on North America in numbers.
The design
Classic navy-blue Adidas shirt with white details and a proud tartan-pattern accent woven subtly into the shoulder. The cut is more athletic than recent Scotland kits and the crest sits high and proud. Honest answer: this is one of the most handsome kits in the entire tournament.
Who to watch
Andy Robertson still raiding down the left, Scott McTominay coming off the back of a remarkable scoring run, and John McGinn pulling strings in the middle. Add Kieran Tierney and Billy Gilmour and you have a squad with real Premier League and European spine.
Why you should care
Group C with Brazil, Morocco and Haiti is brutal but not impossible. The Scotland-Brazil opening fixture is must-watch TV. Buy the shirt before the tournament — these are going to be hard to find by June.
