And you know what?

I'm amazed that we've got someone that sounds as if they've not touched too many beers so far today, considering the time.

Or maybe he's just hiding.

it well but thank you very much head off and we will go back to the boston stadium because gabriel antoniazzi is there gabriel what is the atmosphere like inside the stadium and just give us a picture of what boston has been like in general over the last few days because on social media we've seen that has been the tartan army takeover and it's looked incredible

Yeah it is a shame to hear that with what's that just over half an hour to go until the game kicks off that there are issues with the fans getting into the stadium the queues are really long hopefully by the time it kicks off the majority of Scotland fans are in there they can enjoy the national anthem and hopefully enjoy Scotland getting off to a good start in the game

When you just look at the general atmosphere around Boston, I'm sure you're the same as me, Tony, that any time you go on social media, you just see something else.

You see Scotland fans playing football in the street.

You see Craig Ferguson, who's walked 3,000 miles from LA to Boston to get to the game.

You see police officers that have got themselves doing keepy-ups and putting on...

The boy that got the Scotland fans moving across the road for him.

It's just one of the great stories that I've seen so far that it was half past six in the morning and it was an American just in a residential street that he looked out at half past six in the morning.

and the street across from him had been rented out as an Airbnb and he looked out and there were salt tires draped from it and there was a guy in a kilt playing the bagpipes at half past six in the morning and I've watched that story develop over social media the last few days he is now an adopted Scot he's managed to get himself a ticket to the game he's been cooking dinner for the Scotland supporters that are over there and he's getting into it and you just see how well received

and it's not just in Boston where there is a huge party because there is a massive party all over Scotland it might be half past one in the morning it did not matter what time this game was going to kick off it did not matter what day this game was going to kick off because there were going to be Scotland fans out in force enjoying themselves and

Let's take a wee trip around the country, shall we?

We'll start close to where we are in Merchant City Square.

Callum McQuaid is going to let us know what is happening downstairs and then we're going to go around the country.

Yes, I'm in amongst the crowd down here and it's so loud and so busy that I've actually had to drag two guys outside to come and speak to me.

And you are not just celebrating Scotland being in the World Cup, but you're celebrating something even more important.

What are you up to?

It's my stereo tonight, looking forward to it.
