Scotland manager Steve Clarke has announced his 26-man squad for the 2026 World Cup. The team will face stiff competition in the tournament, but Clarke is confident in his players' abilities. Speaking about his selection, Clarke said, 'I'm pleased with the squad we've put together. We've got a good mix of experience and youth, and I'm excited to see how they'll perform on the biggest stage.'
Craig Gordon, the experienced goalkeeper, has been included in the squad, along with young talent Curtis Ross Stewart. The squad features a total of 12 defenders, 7 midfielders, and 7 forwards.
The 2026 World Cup is set to take place in the United States, Canada, and Mexico. Scotland will face off against several top-tier teams, including England, who are also competing in the tournament. The team will need to put in a strong performance if they hope to advance to the knockout stages.
Scotland's World Cup campaign will begin on 21 November 2026, with their first match against Group A opponents. The team will then face off against Group A rivals on 25 November and Group B opponents on 29 November.
The squad will be monitored closely in the coming weeks, with Clarke and his coaching staff working to fine-tune the team's performance before the tournament.
