Tonight, Scotland returns to the World Cup for the first time in 28 years.
To harness that excitement and inspire the next generation of talent, we are announcing a £500,000 World Cup Fund to support youth football, and supporting the work of @streetsoccerSCO.

Enough is enough. When politicians use hateful language, they create conditions for hatred to grow.
This is the Reform party I warned about, and they should be ashamed for inciting racial division in Scotland.
I will always stand up for the inclusive country we are. 🏴

I met Craig before he headed out to the US to begin his trek and I was struck by his tenacity and determination.
To mark his achievement, the @scotgov is donating £400,000 to SAMH to fund their vital mental health work, including drop-in The Nook centres.

The Tartan Army are such a wonderful advert for Scotland and I'm proud we have people like Craig representing our country in America as our men’s national team take to the World Cup in almost thirty years.
