Minute's applause for Grangemouth man

A minute's applause will be held at tonight's Scotland game in memory of a Grangemouth man who passed away in Boston.

76-year-old Donny Strathie had a ticket for the game against Morocco, but died suddenly on Sunday.

He'd travelled to the United States for Scotland's first World Cup since 1998.

Donny was a well-known member of the Tartan Army.

A tribute shared by the Tartan Army said: “We’ve learnt some bad news that Donny Strathie passed away in Boston on Sunday. He had a ticket for the Morocco game, but never got the chance to realise his World Cup dream.

“It would mean a lot to his family if we could organise a minute’s applause in the 76th minute of the Morocco game.”
