Scotland persuade FIFA to allow their fans to wear sporrans on their kilts to World Cup games - after fears they were too large to meet bag restrictions!
Scotland fans have been given the all-clear to wear their sporrans at the team's matches at this summer's World Cup. Despite this win for the fans, the Scottish national team will break from tradition in another aspect as they are ditching their kilts for tailored suits. The Scottish FA announced in January that Steve Clarke’s side will wear ‘sharp, made-to-measure suits’ when travelling to matches across the US in June. They will get their World Cup underway against Haiti on June 14, before facing Morocco on June 20 and Brazil on June 25. That last group fixture is a re-run of the opener to the 1998 World Cup, when Brazil beat Scotland 2-1 at the Stade de France.
