World Cup time. First ever time wearing a kilt. First time in my lifetime the country I’m born & raised in at the World Cup. Well buzzing for this man

Come on Scotland 💙💙 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Good luck to Steve Clarke, the men’s team and every fan making the journey - the whole nation is behind you.

Delighted to be in Boston to be part of this special occasion. Scotland, let’s make history! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

In the dead of night the Scots arrived at the Airbnb across the street. Decked out and playing the pipes at 6:30 am. So it begins…

.@HRwritesnews had nothing to say when Mark Drakeford went to Qatar in 2022, when Keir Starmer attended the Paris Olympics, or when he and Lisa Nandy went to Germany for Euro 2024.

Yet suddenly SNP ministers attending sporting events is unethical? The double standard is obvious

[Northbank Runner @jglally07]

@KERBYbook I don't think I've ever been as angry leaving a game. This was blatant cheating. The couldn't have Spain failing to qualify and if we had beaten them, that was a strong possibility.

[Graeme Johnston @KERBYbook]

Scotland v Spain.

Genuinely never been angrier at football. Keeper isn't even looking for it. Absolutely nothing wrong with this goal.

Away end limbs were some of the best I've ever been part of.

After independence we will get shot of these grifting bastards.

Breaking News:
The Holyrood Committee are holding an inquiry into the delay by the London Met Police in their investigations regarding the theft of billions of PPE and Test and Trace procurement funds. Their main focus will be the lack of prosecutions, and taxpayer refunds.

[James Campbell @J4m35c4mpb3ll]

I’ll leave this one here.

[Scotland’s Coefficient @scotlandscoeff1]

Scotland have gone 4-0 up in the first half of a match for the first time since their 6-0 win over the Faroe Islands at Celtic Park in September 2006.

James McFadden on commentary tonight and Kenny Miller in the studio both scored, as did Tyler Fletcher's dad Darren. The only other time this century was Scotland 4-1 Trinidad & Tobago in 2004 at Easter Road.

Away from home I can only find 3 instances in their history of Scotland doing this, tonight, and in Belfast against Northern Ireland in 1949 and in Wrexham against Wales in 1893.

I know this sounds absolutely ridiculous, but yoons and House-Jocks support this. They not only support this but they will defend it and yoons will vote to make sure it stays this way. They also think all our resources and the vast revenue they generate belongs to England.

[Iain Cameron @theiaincameron]

As the World Cup approaches, I decided today to make a sort of pilgrimage visit to the world’s oldest football. Found above Mary Queen of Scots bedroom in Stirling castle, the ball is thought to date to the 1540s.

In fact, the young queen Mary may even have kicked it herself!

[Lou Macari @LouMacari10]

Thank you so much to the Scottish Football Supporters Association after they voted me their Hero of the Year for our work at the Macari Centre. An honour for me to receive this from the fans of a game that gave me so much and a pleasure to meet Paul Goodwin, founder of the SFSA

[William Brown @Brown666W]

Anyone seen @BBCScotlandNews @STVNews pursuing this character? No, of course not. You can see what these English broadcaster are just by looking at what who they pursue and who they do not.

[TA Sunshine Appeal @TASA1999]

Today we made our 111th donation ahead of tonight’s Bolivia v Scotland game.

While members of the steering group are on the ground in New Jersey, due to logistic the recipient could not be there, but sent us this fantastic video saying where your donation will be going to.

The drinks prices in the stadium at the England vs. New Zealand match.

💵 $18 for a beer.
💵 $7.50 for a water.

Robbery.

Good luck to our Scottish friends in tonight's final warm-up fixture! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 #effzeh

[SPFL Mediawatch @SPFLWatch]

Whoever at the BBC thought Kevin Bridges was the right choice to host a Brazilian football travelogue deserves a raise.

Superb programming.

[Gillian Mackay - Scottish Greens @Gillian_Mackay1]

Fans are being priced out of football.

Thanks to @jmcginn7 & @kevinbridges86 highlighting this issue.

This week the Scottish Parliament voted for my amendment to cap away tickets in Scotland at £25 but so much more needs done across the game.

Football without fans is nothing!
