Scotland Two Results From World Cup Return as Greece Trip Sets Up Hampden Decider

Players cite hard-won togetherness as the source of belief to complete qualification.

Overview

  • A draw in Greece on November 15 followed by a win over Denmark at Hampden on November 18 would clinch top spot in Group C, with a play-off already secured as back-up.
  • Scott McKenna says the squad’s unity built over recent years fuels confidence for big games, while acknowledging performance levels must rise from last month.
  • Lyndon Dykes, who missed Euro 2024 with an ankle injury and had a six‑month calf layoff this year, calls reaching the World Cup the highlight of his life.
  • Hampden Park is set to be full for the Denmark match, with players expecting an even larger Tartan Army surge if qualification is achieved.
  • Scotland train in Belek, Turkey before facing a Greece side already out of contention, having previously beaten Greece 3-1 and drawn away to Denmark in this campaign.
