Kit of the Day #28: Scotland — Tartan Army Back at a World Cup

Scotland at a World Cup. First time since 1998. The Tartan Army are about to take over the host cities and the navy Adidas kit is one of the cleanest of the cycle. Day 28 of Kit of the Day.

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. If the shirt makes your shortlist, use the buyer page and verify the exact product, seller, price, stock, delivery and returns; FKB does not set a tournament deadline.
