"The Scots are making their first appearance at the tournament for 28 years, where they will play two of their foes from the 1998 competition in the form of Brazil and Morocco. Clarke's side will open against Haiti on Saturday 13 June in Boston or New York. They will then take on Morocco on Friday 19 June in Boston or Philadelphia, before finishing against five-time winners Brazil in either Atlanta or Miami on Wednesday 24 June. Fixtures will be finalised on Saturday."
"Scotland were drawn as a pot three team at a mammoth ceremony in Washington DC after dramatically stunning Denmark in one of the country's finest ever nights to top their qualifying group. Unsurprisingly, the Scots have never played against Haiti, who are 84th in the Fifa world rankings. Under Clarke, Scotland have made it to two European Championships, but reaching next summer's finals represents a monumental watershed moment for a nation starved of appearances from their men's side at a finals for nearly three decades."
Scotland secures a place at the men's World Cup for the first time in 28 years and has been drawn alongside Brazil, Morocco and Haiti. The team will open against Haiti on 13 June in Boston or New York, face Morocco on 19 June in Boston or Philadelphia, and finish against Brazil on 24 June in Atlanta or Miami, with fixtures to be finalised.

Haiti sit 84th in the Fifa rankings.
