Dawn the Duck, a popular Providence-based duck with a large social media following, joins Scotland fans as an unofficial mascot for Friday’s World Cup match against Morocco. Multiple reports say the duck leads part of a pre-match bagpipe march, appearing in fan activity ahead of the game. During the march, Dawn the Duck wears a Scottish flag on its back along with its usual golden medallion. The Globe and Mail and Yahoo Sports, both drawing on Reuters’ account, describe the scene in Rhode Island, where Scottish supporters gather for the event. The coverage focuses on the duck’s role in the fan procession rather than any official affiliation, describing it as an unofficial mascot. The match itself is identified as taking place on Friday, with Morocco listed as the opponent. Overall, the reports depict Dawn the Duck as an emerging figure in the fan culture surrounding Scotland’s tournament run, participating visibly in the lead-up festivities through costume and procession.
