Economy Secretary Stephen Flynn says he is “gutted” he is not in Boston for Scotland’s opening match of the World Cup, according to reports. Flynn watches the game from home with his son, despite planning to travel to the United States later in the tournament. The outlet reporting his comments states he intends to fly to Boston for subsequent fixtures, but was not able to attend the opening match. The coverage describes Flynn’s disappointment at missing the start of Scotland’s campaign in the city, while noting he remains committed to travelling for later games. The reports present the same overall picture: Flynn does not attend the opening match in Boston, views it at home, and is scheduled to travel to the United States at a later stage of the tournament.
