The Tartan Army took South Beach on Monday.
More than 8,000 Scottish soccer fans took over LoanDepot Park as the Marlins hosted the Rangers two days before Scotland faces Brazil in a crucial match in their final World Cup group stage match.
The traveling group of Scottish soccer fans traversing the United States for Scotland’s World Cup matches has gone viral for the party they’ve created everywhere they’ve gone, which included a stop at Fenway Park for a Red Sox game.
They recreated that atmosphere Monday night in Miami as the group went all out while at the Marlins’ 4-3 loss to the Rangers.
Members of the Tartan Army marched through Little Havana before the game en route to the stadium and bagpipes performed on the field prior to the game.
The raucous Scottish fans sang and chanted when Marlins starter Tyler Philips took the mound.
Video shared by BBC Sport Scotland outside LoanDepot Park showed fans praying and singing along to “Yes Sir, I can Boogie.”
In other videos, fans were loudly singing, “I’m Gonna Be (500 Miles).”
Speaking with MLB.com, Scotland fan Sean Downie called his first baseball game “Brilliant. It’s a bit different, but as you can see with the march and the atmosphere, it’s starting to feel like a football match, or soccer as you call it,” he told the outlet.
Downie laughed when he said that he knew “nothing” about baseball.

“I know pitching, batting and you catch it and outs, but that is about it,” he said to MLB.com.
Monday’s game had an attendance of 20,008, which was the eighth-best mark for the Marlins this season, and it was a similar warm reception that the traveling fans got when they took over Boston’s Fenway Park.
At least 5,000 fans were on hand for “Scotland Day” in Boston on June 14.
