On loan at St Mirren from Belgian club Sint-Truiden for the second half of the 2018-19 season, Duckens Nazon "had a story" in Scotland.
It was short-lived, though.
The forward, Haiti's record scorer, is hoping to stun the nation he once called home when the sides meet in Boston at the 2026 World Cup.
Nazon played 12 games for St Mirren, scoring twice, but said he was "not ready for this kind of aggression and fight" in Scottish football.
The weather also played its part.
"I remember one game we had sun, snow and rain," he recalled on the BBC’s Sacked in the Morning podcast. “After this, I was like, OK, I’m done.”
Weather is unlikely to be an issue for Nazon this summer in North America. The striker, a friend of Scotland defender Dominic Hyam – with whom he played at Coventry – did, however, voice concerns about inflated ticket prices for the upcoming World Cup matches.
"There is only one thing that starts to go in my brain – it's the ticket prices," he says. "Hopefully this is not going to affect the crowd and people coming to the stadium, because we want this atmosphere.
"We want this energy around us. I'm looking forward to seeing Scottish people and Haitian people in the stadiums. This is going to be important."
Nazon also detailed his recent evacuation from Iran, where he plays his club football for Esteghlal, saying he watched bombs drop from just 100 metres away and that his life was saved by a SIM card.
