Mike Tyson stunned Scotland fans in Miami last night when he made a public appearance

The boxing icon was swarmed by supporters on Collins Avenue on Miami Beach

Videos shared on social media showed the 59-year-old former heavyweight smiling as the fans adapted their favourite chant to sing ‘No Tyson, No Party’.

The throng of Scots joined Brazilian supporters as they continued to surround the famous fighter as he walked beside the Street Art Museum Shop towards a waiting motor.

The crowd then began singing “Super Mike Tyson” as he climbed into a flash black four-by-four on Collins Avenue, Miami Beach, before driving off into the night.

Earlier in the evening Tyson left supporters in amazement when he turned up at a bar packed with revellers soaking up the World Cup vibes.

Some fans filmed the moment on their mobile phones and shared their close encounter with the ring king with friends and loved ones back home.

Tyson looked happy and relaxed when he walked into the busy boozer but he seemed a touch uptight as he left soon after amid a cacophony of noise with the sound of The Tartan Army ringing in his ears.

An onlooker said: “He seemed in good spirits – at least until it got too loud.

“It’s just the latest crazy twist in the Tartan Army’s US adventure.”

Tyson’s surprise cameo came as Scots in Miami told of their hopes ahead of the Brazil showdown.

Colin Thomson, 53, from Edinburgh, is already making plans to travel to a potential round of 32 match if Scotland qualify.

He said: “I’m here for two weeks, so if we qualify I’m going to try and go to wherever we are.”

Ian Keddie, 53, from Falkirk, said Scotland fans will face a nervous wait to learn if they will qualify if they lose to Brazil.

“I think it’ll be a 3-1 result, and then as Scotland fans we’ll be biting our nails because we’re waiting for the next four days to see if we qualify,” he said.

But Connor Keddie, 18, also from Falkirk, voiced confidence that all doubt about qualification will be ended in emphatic style with a shock win against Brazil.

“I’m saying 1-0 Scotland, Scott McTominay in the 91st minute,” he said.

Keith Shields, 53, of Edinburgh, said he fears Scotland will suffer a narrow loss.

“I think it’ll be 1-0 to Brazil, I was hoping for 1-1, but I’m probably being realistic,” he said.

Seb Plait, 53, of London, who described himself as a “dreamer”, is optimistic of a Scottish upset on Wednesday.

He said: “3-1. We’ll be 2-0 up, they get a goal back, and then at the last minute we go straight through. Then we’ll spank Germany in the next round.”

Evie Gallagher, 19, of Galston, Ayrshire, said: “I think it’ll be a close performance from Scotland but I think they’re going to clinch it in the last minute. Scott McTominay will win it, 1-0.”

Stewart Currie, 43, from Ayr, said: “I think Steve Clarke will set up the same as the last game, it will be a stodgy performance, hopefully a 1-0 defeat, I’d like a draw, but probably something like that again.”

Michelle Park, also from Ayr, 48, said: “I think it’ll be a 1-1.”

Richard Miller, 44, from Ayr, said: “I think it’ll be a really difficult game, some of the conditions will play a big role in it, Clarke will go for a defensive game plan, hoping to counter-attack on the transitions hopefully, and then hopefully we’ll get a draw.

“We can hope for the best.”

Scotland fans have travelled to southern Florida in their droves ahead of the team’s crunch match against Brazil at Miami’s Hard Rock Stadium tonight.

Steve Clarke’s men are bidding to make history and become the first Scotland side to reach the knockout stage of a major tournament for the first time.

Jubilant supporters have been living it up in the Sunshine State and partying with locals and Brazilians fans.

On Monday evening, thousands of Scotland fans replicated the memorable march to Boston’s Fenway Park baseball stadium as they walked to Miami Marlins’ LoanDeport Park.

Supporters marched to the sound of bagpipes as they walked around a mile from Little Havana to the stadium.

And the Tartan Army has kept up their craze by decorating statues and other public monuments with traffic cones.

Rolando Escalona, who is the commissioner for Miami’s District 3, has been telling fans he does not object to the tradition.
