The update from camp paints a group that looks settled with each other. McGinn reportedly called Grant Hanley "um urso", while Curtis is said to have labelled Tyler Fletcher "um perdedor" over in-flight games. Ben Doak also got a mention, with Curtis saying he "não para de falar".
That all sounds trivial, but it is often a decent sign. International camps are short, intense and difficult to fake. If players are willing to tease each other openly, it usually points to a group that is comfortable in its own skin.
The lighter details are revealing too. McGinn reportedly admitted bringing the wrong plug adapters to America, calling it "apenas um erro". Ryan Christie is said to have travelled with sleep-tracking gear and nasal strips, while others turned up with massage tools, light glasses and coffee habits that teammates clearly noticed.
There was also a classic football-food moment: Christie reportedly described Andy Robertson’s pre-match choice as "um sanduíche de frango esquisito". These are small details, but they hint at the private routines players cling to when the pressure rises.
For Scotland, the challenge now is carrying that easy chemistry into sharper football. The report says preparations finish with a friendly against Bolivia in New York, a final chance to polish the details before the tournament bites. The next thing to watch is simple: whether this relaxed camp mood can travel from the plane, the hotel and the dressing room onto the pitch.
