The Tartan Army was at it again.
After taking over Fenway Park for a Red Sox game last Sunday, the boisterous fans of Scotland’s World Cup team flooded LoanDepot Park in Miami on Monday as the Marlins faced off against the Texas Rangers. In the World Cup, Scotland faces Brazil at 6 p.m. Wednesday in Miami in the teams’ final group-stage game, before possibly another date in Foxborough.

And the Tartan Army was locked in from the opening pitch.
Occasionally, the fun spilled onto the field.
The players loved it.
