Skipper Andy Robertson sang the praises of the Tartan Army who have been welcomed all over Boston on Scotland’s long-awaited return to the World Cup.
Tens of thousands of Scottish supporters made the trip to North America for a first appearance at the finals in 28 years.
A 1-0 win over Haiti in the Group C opener in Foxborough last weekend had Scotland supporters in raptures and images and footage of thousands of fans marching to Fenway Park on Sunday night to see the Boston Red Sox take on the Texas Rangers, as well as the atmosphere they created at the baseball stadium, made headlines, capturing the attention of Fenway Sports Group, owners of the Red Sox and Liverpool.
Robertson, who has left Anfield after nine years to join Tottenham, expects the same fervour in the second game against Morocco in the Boston Stadium on Friday night.
He said: “The biggest compliment I can give them is I’m not surprised.
