Is Scotland vs Haiti on TV? Channel, kick-off time and how to watch World Cup game

Scotland begin their first World Cup since 1998 against minnows Haiti , with fans already dreaming of a third-place finish that should be enough to see them progress to the knockout stages.

Five-time champions Brazil and controversial Afcon winners Morocco - who were both in Scotland’s last World Cup group, 28 years ago - likely have the top two automatic qualifying spots from Group C sewn up.

But anything can happen in tournament football and Steve Clarke’s side will look to capitalise on any slip-ups - but first need to get past Haiti, who are ranked 40 places below them and appearing at their first World Cup since 1974.

Scotland beat Curacao 4-1 and Bolivia 4-0 in their warm-up matches before irking the Norwegian squad - who dubbed them “unprofessional” - by pulling out of another friendly, while Haiti thrashed New Zealand 2-1 before a late 2-1 defeat to Peru.

Scotland begin their World Cup campaign against Haiti, with kick-off at 2am BST, 9pm ET (local time) on Sunday 14 June, at the Gillette Stadium in Boston, Massachusetts.

Viewers in the UK can watch the game for free on BBC One, with coverage beginning at 1.10am BST, or stream it live on BBC iPlayer.

Steve Clarke said Scott McTominay would be available after an upset stomach but central defender Scott McKenna was out with a calf injury. Scotland will be without Billy Gilmour , who was injured against Curacao and replaced by Manchester United youngster Tyler Fletcher .

Scotland XI: Angus Gunn ; Aaron Hickey , John Souttar , Grant Hanley , Andrew Robertson ; Ben Gannon-Doak Lewis Ferguson, Scott McTominay, John McGinn ; Che Adams , Lawrence Shankland
