John McGinn deflected a shot off an opposing defender and past goalkeeper Johny Placide in the 28th minute, and Scotland defeated Haiti 1-0 in Group C of the World Cup.

After a lengthy drought, Scotland returned to the World Cup in triumphant fashion, opening the group stage with a 1-0 win over Haiti. A 28th-minute goal was all that Scotland ended up needing for the victory, as the win came despite Haiti’s desperate pushes to get an equalizer.

Scotland may not win the World Cup this summer, but they have already won the prize for the best (unofficial) song of the tournament.

Scotland's John McGinn says his "scuffed" goal which downed Haiti in their World Cup opener leaves him "beaming with pride".

Adopted in 1997, “Flower of Scotland” is Scotland’s unofficial national anthem.
