THE day after Scotland's first match in the 2026 World Cup is set to be a national bank holiday north of the border.

First Minister John Swinney has proposed that Monday, June 15 be designated a national bank holiday to mark Scotland's participation in the tournament for the first time since 1998.

The Scotland men's national team will have their first fixture against Haiti on Sunday, June 14 - with kickoff at 2am UK time.

There will be late-night finishes for Scotland's other group-stage matches, which both begin at 11pm.
