BOSTON (AP) — Fresh off Scotland capping its first World Cup appearance in 28 years with a historic victory, the Tartan Army marched to Fenway Park and joined Red Sox Nation on Sunday night.Thousands of Scottish revelers marched from a public park about a half-mile away from Boston’s 114-year-old baseball stadium and down a street behind the center-field bleachers before filling the bars behind the fabled Green Monster.The Texas Rangers played Nick Morgan’s song “No Scotland No Party” in their clubhouse after beating Boston 6-4. Jake Burger, a Tottenham fan, selected it from his playlist.“Just having them out there and doing their chants, that was electric,” Burger said. “It’s a just a different energy when everybody’s singing in unison, just having a good time. There’s a sense of togetherness that sometimes we lose in American sports.”
On Saturday night, John McGinn deflected a shot off an opposing defender and past goalkeeper Johny Placide in the 28th minute, and Scotland defeated Haiti 1-0 at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough.Rangers manager Skip Schumaker said: “My bucket list is to be at a European game one day with my kids, and that was probably as close to it as you can get as far the atmosphere. That was pretty special.”
