Tartan Army fans have been urged to take advantage of free transport options in Miami for their World Cup showdown with Brazil.

Scotland fans will have to fork out a fortune to get to their opening two games at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough.

Massachusetts transport authorities will charge them $80 (£59.42) to go on a 23-mile train journey from Boston or $95 (£70.56) to get the bus to the stadium for Scotland's two opening games against Haiti and Morocco.

But Florida transport chiefs have organised free shuttle buses for the thousands of Scotland fans for the final match in the group against Brazil.

Miami-Dade County's Mayor Daniella Levine Cava said: "Our message to the fans coming here is drive less and celebrate more.

"During match days, ticket holders will be able to access free coach bus shuttle services that will pick up guests at five different transport hubs.

"All you have to do is show your ticket, no pre-registration required and board the shuttles that will be available four hours before the match starts.

"The shuttles will then take you directly to Miami Stadium, with enough time to check in and go through security."

The five pick-up areas for fans are: Golden Glades, Dr. Martin Luther King Metro Station, Aventura Brightline Station, Seminole Hard Rock Casino and Amerant Bank.
