The World Cup stage has a new Scottish name on everyone’s lips, and it was not the usual suspects.
Not Andy Robertson.
Not John McGinn.
Not even Scott McTominay.
Instead, one young star completely captured the imagination of the Tartan Army as his name echoed around the stadium from the first whistle until the final moments.
“Ben Doak! Ben Doak! Ben Doak!”
The young Scottish winger produced a performance that left supporters dreaming of a new generation of Scottish talent. His energy, confidence and fearless approach against Haiti turned him into one of the biggest talking points of Scotland’s opening World Cup match.
The atmosphere was already incredible, with the Tartan Army bringing their famous passion and creating one of the tournament’s most memorable fan moments. But as the game progressed, one chant began to rise above everything else.

“Not Robertson? Not McGinn? Not even Scott McTominay? But his name was echoed throughout the game,” was the reaction surrounding the incredible support for Doak.
Zlatan admitted that moments like this can change a young player’s career, but he also warned about the challenges that come with sudden fame.
“It can be very, very difficult. I hope this sudden fame doesn’t swallow him up,” Zlatan said while discussing the Scottish youngster’s breakthrough performance.
The Swedish icon explained that the attention should not become a distraction, but instead a motivation for Doak to continue improving.
“The kid shouldn’t let it get to him. He can make use of this sudden fame to break through. What a great game he had,” Zlatan added.
For Scotland, the emergence of Doak represents something bigger than one match. After years away from the World Cup stage, the nation is now seeing a new generation ready to carry the famous blue shirt forward.
The Tartan Army have always been known for creating heroes, and on this unforgettable night, they may have discovered their newest one.
