Greggs has announced a nationwide recovery plan for Scots staying up to watch the nail-biting late night match against Brazil tonight (June 24), offering over 10,000 free breakfast rolls for the Tartan Army. The beloved UK bakery retailer is stepping up to provide the ultimate post-match fuel - a Tartan Sarnie - on Thursday morning (June 25) in honour of the Scots' fierce passion for their team.
Match Details and Offer Timing
Steve Clarke's team faces Brazil tonight at Miami Stadium with kickoff back home at 11pm BST. The late start means tired eyes and sore heads on Thursday morning, but Greggs has the Tartan Army covered. Scots who want to claim their free post-match breakfast roll simply need to visit any Greggs shop before 11am wearing football fan attire, such as a Scottish jersey or top.
The offer is available in all Scottish Greggs stores on June 25. Fans can choose from bacon, lorne sausage, links sausage, or a fluffy omelette as the single filling. However, the offer is limited to the first 35 customers per shop, so fans need to be fast.
CEO's Statement
Greggs CEO Roisin Currie, a proud Scot herself, said: "The Tartan Army has waited a generation for this moment, and the legendary celebrations from Boston to Miami have the whole world talking. To reward Scotland's unbelievable fan passion, Greggs wanted to step in and help with the ultimate post-match fuel. Don your best matchday gear, get to Greggs early, and breakfast is on us."
Scotland's World Cup Journey
Scotland's game against Brazil is their third World Cup match in the tournament. Fans remain hopeful that Scotland may qualify for the knockout stages after being defeated by Morocco last Friday. If they do, it will be the first time in World Cup history that Scotland has advanced to the next round.
The Tartan Army's infectious energy has also won over locals in Miami. The Miami Commissioner gave Scots the go-ahead to continue their traffic coning antics on statues across the city, as Floridians party with the fans.
