A BOSTONIAN man who has been "adopted by Scots" after embracing the antics of the Tartan Army has been gifted a ticket to watch the national team's upcoming fixture.
Mike Morrison was the man behind the viral video of Scots taking over an AirBnb in Boston, kitting it out with flags and making their presence known by playing bagpipes in the early morning, an experienced he described as being "pleasantly surprised" by.
The video now has more than 9 million views and Mike has continued to share his experience with Scottish fans, joining his new neighbours for beers and hosting a pre-match barbeque for "the lads".
He shared his joy for Craig Ferguson, the mental-health campaigner who walked more than 3200 miles across the United States, raising for than £1 million for Aberdeen-based Scottish Action for Mental Health (SAHM), and has amassed a following of Scots who have created memes and entire storylines about how Morrison has now become, or has always been, a Scot.
This story about the Tartan Army and the Airbnb, the American Neighbour who took the video and became an honorary Scot, and Helen the Scotland fan who’s given Mike a ticket to a Scotland match is really what the World Cup and Tartan Army is all about👏👏🏴 @MDMorrison82 @hjmcd20 pic.twitter.com/YONn9yBUMF

One thing was missing from his Tartan Army experience however, a ticket to see Scotland play. The Bostonian has said he had never been to a Scotland football match, let alone at the World Cup.
In the dead of night the Scots arrived at the Airbnb across the street. Decked out and playing the pipes at 6:30 am. So it begins… pic.twitter.com/LczU1loVXp

After his posts were seen by tens-of-millions of users, one user commented "Mike - please follow me so I can DM you re ticket to Scotland game…"
The user, Helen, quickly became the subject of her own memes and stories, being described as a "Scottish hero" or "Helen the Divine" after it was announced that she had managed to give Morrison a ticket to Scotland's upcoming clash with Morocco.
In an exchange of cultures he is now attempting to get Helen her own ticket to a Boston Red Socks game, asking the club if they can give her the "Boston treatment".
Along the way, between befriending his temporary neighbours and becoming a Tartan Army hero, he has also tried to help a travelling fan retrieve their lost passport, sharing his plea to millions of people and appealing on his new-found community to reshare the post.
"I’ve been called an adopted son of Scotland, something I don’t take lightly," he said.
"I never thought I’d call upon its powers but if the Scots approve, might the army retweet? If Twitter can send me to the Cup, it can send one of ours home."
While not much is known about Morrison, he has described himself as a senior director of external communications for a hospital group in Boston, and as a fan of "dad tweets."
