Scotland, Haiti, John McGinn, Steve Clarke
14 June 2026
Scotland marked their men’s World Cup return with a tense 1-0 win over Haiti in Boston, their first victory at the tournament since 1990. John McGinn’s deflected first-half strike put Steve Clarke’s side top of Group C.
Haiti created late chances and pushed Scotland into a nervy finish, but Clarke’s team held firm for a crucial clean sheet. The result gives Scotland a strong platform before tougher group matches against Morocco and Brazil.
