Fresh off Scotland capping their first World Cup appearance in 28 years with a historic victory, the Tartan Army marched to Fenway Park and joined Red Sox Nation on Sunday night.
Thousands of Scottish revellers marched from a public park about a half-mile away from Boston’s 114-year-old baseball stadium and down a street behind the centre-field stand before filling the bars in the area.
On Saturday night, John McGinn deflected a shot off an opposing defender and past goalkeeper Johny Placide in the 28th minute to give Scotland a 1-0 win over Haiti at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough.
The next day, the Scots were on hand to watch Boston host the Texas Rangers. The Red Sox billed it as “Scottish Heritage Celebration Night,” with jerseys in Scottish colours available via a specific ticket purchase.
The promotion sold out.
“I’m looking forward to seeing how Fenway Park deals with us,” said 43-year-old Allan Middlemass of Edinburgh, who was wearing a blue Red Sox cap he bought for the trip across the pond.
