Scotland’s WAGs have descended on Miami as the team seeks to make history in a daunting World Cup clash against five-time champions Brazil.
A win against the South American giants would see Scotland progress beyond the World Cup group stage for the first time, while a draw would all but guarantee progression.
Among those in the crowd of Tartan Army fans is Lawrence Shankland’s wife, Nicole, who has taken her seat inside the Hard Rock Stadium.
She was pictured holding their daughter in her arms, who has donned a Scotland shirt with ‘Daddy’ on the back for the occasion.
Meanwhile, George Hirst’s girlfriend Aela Brown has taken to Instagram to show her support, while Jack Hendry’s wife Robyn and their child are also ready.
David Beckham was also seen in the stands, drinking from a glass of red wine as the game got underway.

Thousands of fans are also expected to watch the game at fan zones across Scotland, including the Hydro in Glasgow and The Pitt in Edinburgh.
At both venues, the fans will be shown the game on gigantic screens, with the atmosphere pumped up ahead of kick-off with music, chanting and rousing speeches.
Chris Cairns, from Auchterarder, Perth and Kinross, was one of many fans who watched the Morocco game at the Hydro on Friday.
He said watching the game at the fan zone was the next best thing after seeing it in the stadium.
‘We just love following Scotland,’ the 35-year-old said.
‘My dad and I go to all the games, and because we couldn’t get across to America, we thought this was the second best thing.’
This was echoed by John Wight, from Bishopton, Renfrewshire, who said he wanted to watch the game alongside other Scotland fans.

‘It’s a good idea to come to the Hydro,’ he said.
‘It’s the biggest venue in Scotland.’
Fans across the country will be hoping to see the national team bounce back from their 1-0 defeat against Morocco and secure their place in the next round of the competition.
A win would see Scotland make it beyond a World Cup group stage for the first time.
With a draw, the team is all but guaranteed to secure qualification.
However, with Brazil ranked fifth in the world and Scotland 41st, the five-time World Cup winners are heavy favourites – but the Tartan Army are nonetheless dreaming of making history.
Even a defeat may still see Scotland progress out of the group as one of the top eight third-placed teams.
