TV apology as Scotland fan swears live on air in Miami

A Florida news anchor was forced to apologize on air after an inebriated Scotland fan used profanity during a live interview. The incident occurred in Miami, where thousands of Scotland supporters have gathered for their country's first World Cup appearance in 28 years.

WPLG Miami presenter Kacy Hintz was reporting from LoanDepot Park, home of MLB's Miami Marlins, when a fan shouted, 'We love Miami. Up the f****** Scotland!' into the microphone. Hintz quickly cut off the broadcast and later apologized, saying, 'We do apologize, folks, of course, for a couple of drunks here. These folks have been drinking all day.'

Scotland's World Cup journey

The Tartan Army have been celebrating throughout the tournament, with Boston bars reportedly running out of beer during the earlier group matches. Steve Clarke's side opened with a 1-0 victory over Haiti, their first World Cup win since 1990, but now face a formidable test against five-time champions Brazil in their final group game.

• Scotland need at least a draw against Brazil to reach the knockout stage for the first time.
• Captain Andy Robertson called the match 'an opportunity to achieve history for our little country.'
• Kick-off is set for 11pm BST, with Morocco playing Haiti simultaneously.

While the fans' antics have provided colorful moments, the focus now shifts to the pitch. Scotland must produce a historic performance to advance, but the spirit of the Tartan Army remains undimmed as they prepare for the biggest match in a generation.
