Scotland have been eliminated from the 2026 World Cup following Croatia's 2-1 win over Ghana, with manager Steve Clarke announcing his resignation. The result in Group L means Scotland cannot finish as one of the eight best third-placed teams that will reach the knockout stage. Scotland announced Clarke would be stepping down after seven years in charge shortly after full-time. It is another group-stage exit from a major tournament for Scotland, who have appeared at nine World Cups and four European Championships without ever progressing past the first phase. Scotland began their first World Cup for 28 years by beating...

The bar staff at the Sam Adams brewery in Boston have seen busy weekends. They had not seen anything like the Tartan Army. Over four days in June, kilted Scotland supporters drank the place through seventy kegs of America’s most patriotic lager, sang until their voices frayed, and turned a craft brewery taproom into a slice of Glasgow with better weather. … The numbers from Boston read like a tall tale. Seventy kegs of Sam Adams emptied in four days at the brewery alone, never mind the bars across the city that filled with tartan from morning until well past...

A self-proclaimed psychic has tearfully claimed that aliens are about to invade the planet and are targeting the World Cup game between Scotland and Brazil on Wednesday in Miami. Vo Bahiana, a Brazilian spiritualist with over 23million followers on social media, outlined her prediction in a video that has gone viral across social media. She claims she has had two dreams about the invasion.

The Scottish Conservatives have won a Westminster by-election for the first time in more than 50 years, taking Aberdeen South from the SNP. The seat, vacated by the SNP's Stephen Flynn, was won by Tory MSP Douglas Lumsden. Shortly afterwards the SNP claimed a victory in the Arbroath and Broughty Ferry by-election where Lara Bird held the seat for the party. Lumsden, who is unable to sit in both parliaments due to a Holyrood ban on so-called dual mandates, is to resign from Holyrood just six weeks after winning re-election as a North East MSP. South of the border, Greater...

In the lead-up to the 2026 FIFA World Cup, hosted primarily in the United States along with Mexico and Canada, there was widespread criticism from many European fans. Concern that the Trump administration's immigration policies would somehow impact fans' ability to enter the country. Complaints that the host stadiums, places like Los Angeles Stadium, Boston Stadium or Seattle Stadium would somehow prove unworthy of hosting World Cup matches. Those concerns and complaints have proven to be wildly unfounded. The atmosphere in Los Angeles for the U.S. Men's National Team opening match win over Paraguay was widely praised. To the point...

The parent company of Sam Adams said its Boston Taproom ran out of the brand's flagship Boston Lager over the weekend because Scotland soccer fans in Boston for the 2026 World Cup drank four times as much as the bar usually sells. Boston Beer Co. said in a news release that from Thursday to Sunday, the Tartan Army -- Scotland's supporters organization -- drank four times what the company normally stocks during a typical four-day holiday stretch like the Fourth of July, adding that it had to schedule an emergency delivery of beer Saturday morning and are adding extra deliveries...

With Scottish football fans in Boston, bars are saying their beer is getting drunken faster than on St. Patrick’s Day or a sports championship — the Dubliner had its biggest week ever! But first, fans of Iraq and Norway were partying ahead of Tuesday’s game, and what travel on the MBTA trains to Boston Stadium was like.

Girl said she pulled hatchet and knife after male migrant pushed her and told her, ‘Come here sexy. I will show you how to have a good time’. Migrant attempted to accuse girls of racism, saying they called him an 'f****** migrant,' which the court rejected and said was warranted due to his behavior. A court in Scotland this week convicted two migrants of attacking a group of girls last August, prompting one of the girls to brandish a hatchet and a dagger to ward off the attackers in a video that went viral.At the time, the 12-year-old girl in...

Mark Steyn Clubbers may remember last August Mark's discussion of a case in Dundee, Scotland, where sisters were being harassed by migrants, but who were then charged by the local coppers - the girls, not the migrants. The older sister at the time, to protect her younger sister, brandished a knife and an axe. The MSM immediately came to the aid of the migrants, not the girls (ages 14 and 12). Well, today the case was resolved - and good, ol' fashioned justice won the day. The girls - after a torturous year of media attention, legal fees and the...

The story of this little girl and the video of her protecting her sister, which galvanised the world, has come full circle. In August of last year, Lola and Ruby Moire were walking home in a suburb of Dundee, Scotland, and being harassed by the ubiquitous 'migrants' who form so integral a part of these United Kingdom stories anymore. The abuse from their pursuers was so intense that one of the girls can be heard warning them off, shouting, 'Don’t f**king touch her, she’s f**king 12!' Weapons the youngster had in her waistband came out, and she brandished them bravely...

Slàinte! The Scottish national team kicks off World Cup play in Boston Saturday, but their fans treated their transatlantic flights like a bottomless pub crawl — and drained every drop of booze before touching the tarmac. The kilt-clad Scots entered Logan International Airport ready to rumble — “been drinking since one o’clock in the morning when I got up,” said David Wood as he arrived on US soil. “We ran out of beer.” A flight from the UK to the US usually lasts around seven hours, so when the beer ran dry, the Scots switched to wine, the pilot told...

Prosecutors have given more details about how Peter Murrell embezzled goods worth more than £400,000 using the SNP's money.What stands out from the narrative is the persistence, cynicism and devious tactics used by the man who was the party's chief executive for more than two decades.The Crown revealed how he used his privileged access to the SNP's accounting system to feather his own nest in a whole range of ways - with credit cards, SNP charge cards and direct transfers of money.That may go some way towards explaining how the SNP's auditors, party officials and his estranged wife Nicola Sturgeon...

-The UK government will introduce legislation banning new North Sea oil and gas exploration licences as part of its Energy Independence Bill. -Critics argue the policy will increase Britain’s reliance on imported fossil fuels while damaging Scotland’s oil and gas industry. -Rising oil prices and disruptions tied to the Iran conflict have intensified political pressure on Labour to reconsider the ban. The government will make it illegal to grant new oil and gas licences in the North Sea, the King said at the state opening of Parliament, in a sign ministers are refusing to buckle in the face of a...

According to a statement released by the University of Southampton, a crannog in shallow waters in Loch Bhorgastail on Scotland's Isle of Lewis has been evaluated by researchers from the University of Southampton and the University of Reading with a technique called stereophotogrammetry, which involves stitching together photographs taken at different angles to create a high-resolution 3D model. The study determined that the structure began as a circular wooden platform, measuring about 75 feet in diameter, that was topped with brushwood. Neolithic pottery was also discovered in the area surrounding the crannog, enabling archaeologists to date this first construction of...

According to a Herald Scotland report, National Trust for Scotland archaeologists, assisted by volunteers, recovered a piece of copper alloy from a stone structure in Highland Scotland's Ben Lawers National Nature Reserve that may have been used to distill whisky in secret to avoid paying taxes that had been levied beginning in the 1780s. The researchers suggest that the copper part is a piece known in Gaelic as An Gearradan, or the collar connecting a still to its lyne arm, which controlled how much vapor returned to the pot and therefore controlled the flavor of the finished product. The team...

I want to tell you the story of a young woman who you have probably never heard of. Her name is Mary Anne. She was born on a remote island in Scotland, where life was harsh and unforgiving. On May 2, 1930, when she was 18 years old, she got on a boat headed for Ellis Island to start a new life. She arrived here 11 days later. She wasn't chasing fame, riches, or power. She came for the unique opportunity that America offered. Her sister was already here and had found a job as a maid. So, Mary Anne...

And now time for some good news. The ruling Labour Party in the United Kingdom got absolutely destroyed in Thursday's local council elections. While the votes are still being tallied, they could see a net loss of over 1,500 seats. In short, it was bad for Prime Minister Keir Starmer and company. Really, really bad. Keep in mind, the first post is of declared seats (as of this writing) while the second post is a projection of where things will end up when all the votes are counted. ============================================================== GB Politics @GBPolitcs 🚨NEW: State of the Parties at 2PM: Seats...
