GLASGOW is set to be formally twinned with Boston after thousands of Tartan Army members descended on the city for the World Cup.
The agreement will be signed next April and comes after the burgeoning relationship between Scotland supporters and the US city’s citizens, which has made for many uplifting and viral moments.
The plans were confirmed on Thursday by Boston mayor Michelle Wu’s office.
A statement said: "Building on longstanding ties between Scotland and the United States, strong connections across our communities, and the goodwill generated during the FIFA World Cup 2026, this partnership will create new opportunities for meaningful cooperation and mutual growth"
The Tartan Army have reportedly been drinking Boston dry over the last week, with bars across the city seeing record sales as Scotland fans have cemented their world-famous reputation for partying.
Tens of thousands of Scotland fans have been celebrating their team's first appearance at the World Cup in 28 years in America.
On Sunday, John McGinn secured Scotland’s first win at the tournament since 1990 as Steve Clarke’s men managed to see off Haiti in a 1-0 victory.
Even before Saturday night's game, bars and restaurants across Boston were packed out with Scotland fans, with a new law dubbed the “Tartan Army Bill” being passed last week to allow more than 140 businesses to stay open later for the tournament.
Elsewhere, around 5000 supporters marched to Fenway Park following Scotland’s 1-0 victory over Haiti to watch the Boston Red Sox.
Traffic cones have also appeared on statues across Boston, echoing a well-known Glasgow tradition.
Glasgow is currently twinned with nine cities worldwide, with such agreements aimed at boosting cultural and economic links.
