Scotland’s head coach, Steve Clarke, and the captain, Andy Robertson, fear the country’s World Cup journey is over after a chastening defeat by Brazil in Miami. A 3-0 loss for the Scots means they are clinging to the hope of a spot in the last 32 as one of eight best third-placed teams. Scotland have three points and a goal difference of minus three.
For Clarke, this will not be enough to become the first team from Scotland to progress to the knockout phase of a major tournament. “I think we’re going home,” said Clarke.
