Scotland’s World Cup flame is burning more brightly than at any point since 1997. One win away from securing a berth back at a tournament where participation once felt like a birthright, everything is building towards an undoubtedly fraught but hopefully rewarding climax.

Scotland earned a stunning 4-2 win over Denmark to secure their place at the World Cup next year.

Scotland qualified for the World Cup for the first time since 1998, scoring two stoppage-time goals in a wild 4-2 victory over Denmark.

Scott McTominay scored a wonder goal as Scotland beat Denmark 4-2 to send the Tartan Army to a first World Cup finals since 1998. McTominay netted a sublime overhead kick inside the opening five minutes to kick off what was a thrilling evening at Hampden Park for Steve Clarke’s side.

And the match, promising on paper, became crazy right from the start, thanks to the inevitable Scott McTominay! Outstanding since his transfer to Napoli, the former Man United midfielder once again put on his goalscorer’s hat, scoring in just the 3rd minute. But not just any goal—a sensational acrobatic overhead kick!

Steve Clarke has admitted that he was left stunned by Scotland 's three wonder-goals as the Tartan Arme reached the 2026 World Cup with a 4-2 victory over Denmark. Scotland went into the Hampden Park showdown knowing that three points would secure qualification for next year's tournament in the United States, Canada and Mexico.

BBC Scotland pundits James McFadden and Steven Thompson, as well as commentator Liam McLeod, go wild as Scotland claim their first men's World Cup place since 1998.
