Back shaving & biggest posers - the Scotland squad in their own words

'Liam Kelly shaves Grant Hanley's back'

John McGinn packed an European plug adaptor. Lyndon Dykes follows Ryan Christie around like a dog. Liam Kelly shaves Grant Hanley's back. Often.

Turns out you can learn a lot about the squad who have ended Scotland's 28-year wait for a World Cup appearance while in a Florida hotel ballroom on their media day. Perhaps too much.

Steve Clarke has brought his players to hot and humid Fort Lauderdale for a pre-tournament camp to acclimatise themselves to the conditions they'll face in their Boston matches against Haiti and Morocco, and especially against Brazil in Miami.

On Tuesday, they had a few hours of their busy schedule blocked out for Fifa's content day, when the players pose for photos and perform their celebrations in front of big green screens.

Maybe the heat was playing havoc with them, or they'd just had enough at that stage, but they were in the mood to expose their pals' biggest secrets, worst traits and what they truly think of them.

So meet the Scotland squad in their own words...

What's the weirdest thing in their suitcases?

In between the players' multiple kit changes and checking back on the footage from their rain-abandoned golf day on Monday, BBC Scotland asked the big questions after making the trip Stateside.

What's the weirdest thing in your suitcase, boys?

Findlay Curtis' massage gun didn't sound that odd, while the ever-reliable Kenny McLean's certainty that there "wasn't anything too weird" wavered the more that he thought about it.

Christie is trying to improve and track his sleep so has brought his oura ring and some nose tape - thankfully he's not sharing a room with anyone, not even Dykes - while Kelly has his red-light sunglasses with him.

The likely third-choice goalkeeper also conceded he "needs to bring something to the party" after being named the squad's hype-man by a few team-mates.

Then there's Europa League-winning captain McGinn. He perhaps brought the same bag he took to Istanbul a week or two ago as he brought European adaptors to the United States.

"It was just a mistake!" he protested.

The BBC can confirm Scotland's vice-captain has since invested in the appropriate appliances.

Who would you not want to be beside on plane?

There can be no mistakes made when picking your plane partner, though. It's a long flight from Glasgow to Miami, after all.

Defender Hanley - who McGinn described as "a bear" - "takes up too much room" for Christie's liking, while 19-year-old Curtis is "me times 100" according to the Villa captain.

"His energy's been infectious; he's a brilliant addition to the squad," McGinn said. "A character, but I wouldn't like to sit next to him."
