World Cup 2026: get the Scotsman's special newsletter to never miss a Scotland story

Thousands of Tartan Army foot soldiers will soon make their way across land and sea to the USA to follow the national team - and The Scotsman will be there too.

Our chief football writer Alan Pattullo, naturally, is leading up our coverage. He's a bit of a veteran when it comes to World Cups, having covered the recent ones when Scotland weren't involved. He's pretty excited, as are we. His work is sure to stand out from the crowd.

Joining Alan stateside will be our feature writer Katharine Hay. Now, you may know her from her incredible stories walking the length and breadth of Scotland, and her excellent dispatches from remote parts of the country. We were tempted to ask her to walk from Boston to Miami but unfortunately, it would just take too long!

As a reader, you know we provide some of the best coverage of Scottish football. For the next month - and hopefully longer - there will be a World Cup takeover as we build up to Scotland's first appearance on the global stage in 28 years. Our daily football newsletter will become a World Cup newsletter.

Alan and Katharine will be writing to you from the ground in the US, from Scotland's base-camp in Charlotte, the venues of Boston and Miami and everywhere in between.

Newsletters make staying up to date with the latest headlines easy. Much of the World Cup will take place overnight. We'll make sure you don't miss a beat.
