Scotland's key player, Scott McTominay, is fit and available for their World Cup opener against Haiti on Sunday, June 14, 2026. This news comes as a major boost after fears arose when he missed a training session due to a stomach upset.
McTominay traveled separately to the team's hotel as a precaution against spreading illness. However, he successfully returned to training on Friday. Manager Steve Clarke has confirmed that the midfielder is "perfect and ready to go" for the match.
Clarke downplayed the team's reliance on McTominay, stating that "26 superstars" are part of the squad's success. He highlighted the team's collective effort over the past seven years, emphasizing that all players are crucial for a positive tournament.
This fitness update is particularly welcome for Scotland, especially after teammate Billy Gilmour was ruled out of the World Cup due to a knee injury. The match against Haiti, who are making only their second World Cup appearance, is scheduled to take place at Boston Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts.
