Scotland manager Steve Clarke reacts to his side's 1-0 victory over Haiti in their Group C opener at the Boston Stadium.
John McGinn's goal was enough as Scotland beat Haiti 1-0 at the Boston Stadium to record their first win at a World Cup for 36 years.
England’s squad arrived at Swope Soccer Village, their World Cup base, to find locals (and the local police) out in force Before Thomas Tuchel and his England players departed for the United States, there was talk about their World Cup training ground in Kansas City being too open.

Victory over Haiti meant this is a team not guaranteed to receive a bloody nose against lesser nations after all. More than 10,000 days after limping out of the World Cup in France, Scotland returned to the biggest stage in football and claimed three points. They top Group C. Yet in the Boston Stadium, the counter narrative was more than a feeling. With Morocco and Brazil to come, this single goal success may prove insufficient as Scotland
