A Tartan Army footsoldier is being sought after his passport was discovered in Boston following the Haiti match. Paul McLaughlin's travel document was found by a fellow Scotland supporter in the city the day after the national team's 1-0 victory to kick off their World Cup campaign.
The 39-year-old was enjoying a double celebration yesterday as the passport shows June 14 as his birthday. The appeal was posted on several Facebook pages, but Paul has yet to come forward.
Scotland fans flooded the streets after the game at Boston Stadium and partied into the night after Steve Clarke's men secured three points thanks to John McGinn's winning goal. The Tartan Army continued celebrating yesterday, with many attending a baseball match in Boston.
Thousands gathered and marched to Fenway Park stadium to watch the Boston Red Sox take on the Texas Rangers. Stunned locals stopped to take pictures and videos as the kilted procession moved toward the stadium.
Richard Laidlaw, 50, told the Record: "We're here for just over a week so we thought we'd make the most of it and go to the Red Sox. We just thought we'd get the strips and get all the Scotland players in the back of the shop, just for a bit of a laugh. My friend organized the whole thing. It took a lot of organizing to be fair. But it's just a case of making the most of this amazing trip."
The win over Haiti has put Brazil and Morocco on red alert, as both are keenly aware there is now a three-way fight to emerge from Group C. Scotland will next take on Morocco at Boston Stadium at 11pm BST on Friday, before heading to Miami for the final group stage game against Brazil on Wednesday, June 24.
