Lyndon Dykes follows Ryan Christie around like a dog. Liam Kelly shaves Grant Hanley's back. Often. Turns out you can learn a lot about the squad who have ended Scotland's 28-year wait for a World Cup appearance while in a Florida hotel ballroom on their media day. Perhaps too much. Steve Clarke has brought his players to hot and humid Fort Lauderdale for a pre-tournament camp to acclimatise themselves to the conditions they'll face in their Boston matches against Haiti and Morocco, and especially against Brazil in Miami. On Tuesday, they had a few hours of their busy schedule blocked out for Fifa's content day, when the players pose for photos and perform their celebrations in front of big green screens.

The likely third-choice goalkeeper also conceded he "needs to bring something to the party" after being named the squad's hype-man by a few team-mates. Then there's Europa League-winning captain McGinn. He perhaps brought the same bag he took to Istanbul a week or two ago as he brought European adaptors to the United States. "It was just a mistake!" he protested. The BBC can confirm Scotland's vice-captain has since invested in the appropriate appliances. Who would you not want to be beside on plane? There can be no mistakes made when picking your plane partner, though. It's a long flight from Glasgow to Miami, after all. Defender Hanley - who McGinn described as "a bear" - "takes up too much room" for Christie's liking, while 19-year-old Curtis is "me times 100" according to the Villa captain. "His energy's been infectious; he's a brilliant addition to the squad," McGinn said. "A character, but I wouldn't l
