Steve Clarke says Scotland will make the World Cup in 2026, but will we make it?
KEITH JACKSON: Fingers crossed. It’s easy to stick the boot into Clarke after last week’s no show against Ukraine but let’s not forget how far this team has come under his management. Despite not making it to Qatar, he’s got us in a good place.
CRAIG SWAN: Clarke has shown he can get Scotland to a Euros and the upcoming Nations League matches are vitally important to keep a second door to qualification open.
FRASER WILSON: Clarke’s making demands of his team and I like that. There is no doubt the quality in the group is good enough to get to Germany but so much depends on imponderables like the qualifying draw and avoiding injuries to key players. Get lucky with those two and we should have a great chance.
SCOTT BURNS: There is no doubt this team can make it. They showed by getting to Euro 2020. It will come down to producing big results when it matters and they will need to learn from the pain of the Ukraine game.
