Scotland are in Group C and commence their campaign against Haiti on Sunday - with a 2am kick-off UK time. Load up on the coffee or energy drinks.
The Scots then face Morocco on June 19 and conclude their group fixtures against Brazil, five-time winners of the competition, on June 24. The first two matches take place in Foxborough, Massachusetts before they head to Miami Stadium, Florida to face South American opponents who are the only nation to have played in every World Cup tournament.
