First Minister John Swinney has proposed a national bank holiday the day after Scotland’s World Cup opener against Haiti. The SNP leader says Monday, June 15, could be designated as a national bank holiday to mark Scotland’s participation in the tournament for the first time since 1998. Steve Clarke’s men qualified last year for the major finals in North America, drawing in a group with Haiti, Morocco and Brazil. The opener against the Haitians kicks off in the early hours of Sunday, June 14 wit
