Disaster Index: 5.1 Entry: The Man Who Came From Paisley Cause: Haiti's record scorer holds a prior connection to Scottish football, introduces a narrative that the opening fixture will not permit Scotland to treat as merely administrative. Category: Emotional / Historical Evidence: Haiti's all-time leading scorer has a documented link to Paisley. He recently escaped Iran. He is arriving at a World Cup having survived circumstances that make a winnable opener feel, from the outside, like something other than a winnable opener. Historical precedent: Scotland's capacity to be unsettled by humanising detail about the opposition has not been formally classified, but the tendency is in the record. Affected parties: Scottish supporters who arrived prepared for a manageable group-stage encounter; the narrative infrastructure that had quietly organised around Haiti as the beatable opening fixture. Immediate outlook: The opening fixture remains winnable on the evidence. The evidence has acquired a face.
