Disaster Index: 3.1 Entry: Domestic Infrastructure, Pre-Tournament Cause: Scotland's World Cup squad confirming, in their own words, that the primary adaptive mechanism for international tournament preparation is each other. Category: Emotional Evidence: John McGinn packed a European plug adaptor. Lyndon Dykes follows Ryan Christie with documented persistence. Liam Kelly shaves Grant Hanley's back. Often. Historical precedent: No specific precedent for back-shaving logistics at a World Cup. The broader pattern — squad cohesion functioning as both asset and emotional load-bearing wall — appears at every tournament Scotland has attended and several they have not. Affected parties: Grant Hanley's back. Ryan Christie's personal space. The adaptor. Immediate outlook: The domestic infrastructure is intact. Whether intact domestic infrastructure is what the group stage requires is a separate question the Index will continue to monitor.
