Scotland face Haiti in World Cup 2026 Group C opener

Scotland and Haiti have confirmed their starting lineups for their World Cup 2026 Group C match at Gillette Stadium in Boston. Kickoff is scheduled for 02:00 BST on Sunday.

Scotland return to the World Cup for the first time since 1998. They face Haiti, who are appearing at the finals for only the second time after their 1974 campaign.

Scotland's starting XI includes Angus Gunn, Aaron Hickey, Andy Robertson, Grant Hanley, Jack Hendry, Scott McTominay, John McGinn, Lewis Ferguson, Che Adams, Ben Gannon-Doak and Lawrence Shankland. John McGinn starts after coming off the bench in their previous match.

Haiti name an unchanged side from their 2-1 defeat to Peru. Their lineup features Johny Placide, Carlens Arcus, Ricardo Ade, Hannes Delcroix, Martin Experience, Jean-Ricner Bellegarde, Danley Jean Jacques, Louicius Deedson, Ruben Providence, Wilson Isidor and Frantzdy Pierrot.

The match is the second in Group C after Brazil faced Morocco earlier. A win is seen as essential for Scotland to advance from a group that also includes Morocco.
