    Notable absentees

    This is Scotland's FIRST World Cup in 28 years (since France 1998), and the FIRST under Steve Clarke after delivering Euro 2020 and Euro 2024 — three consecutive major tournaments. The Tartan Army has NEVER advanced beyond the group stage in 9 World Cup appearances — a record they desperately want to change. Group C reunites Scotland with Brazil and Morocco, exactly the same opponents who ended their 1998 campaign in France. 19-year-old Tyler Fletcher is the son of former Scotland captain Darren Fletcher, who won 80 caps but never played at a World Cup. Craig Gordon at 43 is the OLDEST player in the entire 2026 tournament. Captain Andy Robertson (Liverpool) leads with 92 caps; John McGinn (Aston Villa) is second-most-capped at 85.
