Tartan Army Belt Out Flower of Scotland on Flight to Boston for World Cup
Tartan Army Sing Flower of Scotland on Boston Flight

The moment passionate Scotland fans belted out Flower of Scotland on a flight from London to Boston has been captured on camera.

Tartan Army in Full Swing

The Tartan Army are still flying high after last week's 1-0 victory over Haiti during Scotland's World Cup opening match when John McGinn sparked mass celebrations on both sides of the pond with a stunning strike.

Scotland fans flying to the US for the second match against Morocco on Friday were in high spirits after boarding an American Airlines flight from London Heathrow to Boston.

One Scottish passenger stood up on the plane and began to lead the national anthem.

The man is seen standing up as he belts out Flower of Scotland, which is being piped by another passenger walking proudly up and down the aisle. The whole plane bursts into song alongside the enthusiastic supporter, while an excited flight attendant can be seen videoing the joyful scene.

The clip has attracted more than one hundred comments from folks on both sides of the pond.

Fan Reactions

One wrote: "The backshift are arriving. Love to see it!" while another wrote: "We're getting more Scots?! Yaaassss!" and a third penned: "Bet the air stewards loved this. So proud of my country. Small nation with massive hearts."

A fourth enthused: "Second shift! We're ready for ya!" while a fifth couldn't contain their excitement, commenting: "Welcome! We look forward to your shenanigans and are rooting for a win! Go Scotland!"

World Cup Stakes

The football fans on board are heading to join around 50,000 other Scotland fans in the host city for the Morocco game, which takes place on Friday, June 19 at Boston's Gillette Stadium.

Scotland stands on the brink of World Cup history as a win over Morocco would get us out of Group C and qualifying for the next round of the global tournament.

Scotland's win over Haiti means Steve Clarke's men stand just a point from guaranteeing knockout football for the first time ever.

The three we currently have could well be enough to send us through as one of the better third-placed sides but it would be leaving a lot to chance.
