MIAMI, June 23 : Captain Andy Robertson said Scotland would be doing everything in their power to give their Tartan Army of fans good reason to drink Miami dry after Wednesday’s World Cup clash against Brazil.
Returning to soccer’s showpiece event for the first time in 28 years, Scotland’s fans have been one of the hits of the tournament with locals embracing their distinctive approach to supporting their team.
Bars in Boston, where the Scots played their first two games, reported being close to running out of beer last week and Robertson thought supplies in Miami could be similarly tested if Scotland upset Brazil and qualified for the Round of 32.
“Our fans are the best in the world. Everywhere they go, people fall in love with them,” the departing Liverpool fullback told reporters on Tuesday.

“I think you’ve seen how much the whole city of Boston fell in love with the Tartan Army, and I think they’re gutted now that they’ve left.
“Now obviously they come down to Miami and try and make the same impact, and I think they’ve had that same impact. Obviously the baseball again last night, walking through the streets and everything.”
Robertson spent much of his press conference extolling the qualities of the Brazilians and was extremely cautious about predicting a first Scotland win over the five-times world champions in five attempts at the World Cup.
“Come tomorrow night, if we manage to beat Brazil, like I’m using your words now, if we manage to beat Brazil, then I’m sure maybe a couple of beers will be drank by the Tartan Army, that’s for sure,” he said with deliberate understatement.
“But that’s what we hope, because we want to give them something to shout about. We want to give them something to be happy about and, obviously, also if we win the game then we’ve created history.
“I think the whole of the Tartan Army want that, and that would be something to celebrate, but we’re a long way off that sitting here just now and hopefully when it comes to the time tomorrow, then we’ll be back closer.”
