Scotland Fans Honor Late Supporter Donny Strathie in 76th Minute of 2026 World Cup Match

In a heartfelt gesture, Scottish fans stood and applauded for an extended period during the 76th minute of their nation's 2026 World Cup match against Morocco, honoring the memory of the late supporter Donny Strathie.

This tribute took place at Gillette Stadium, where the name of Strathie, who died in Boston at the age of 76 while attending the tournament to support Scotland, was commemorated.

Strathie was one of Scotland's most dedicated fans, closely connected to the national team over many years. He had followed the team through numerous tournaments and waited 28 years to witness their return to the World Cup, traveling to the United States to fulfill this dream.

He was able to attend Scotland's opening victory against Haiti but passed away suddenly before the match against Morocco. In response, the fans chose the 76th minute—matching his age—to honor his memory.

In the same match, Morocco secured a valuable 1-0 win over Scotland, continuing their strong performance in the tournament and moving closer to qualification for the next round.
