Scotland's role in World Cup draw farce 40 years ago as they go into the hat for Qatar

Scotland will be in their first World Cup Finals draw since the 1998 tournament today in Qatar and it's 40 years since the Scots were at the centre of the most farcical draw in football history.

Steve Clarke's men will be in the bottom pot for the Doha draw together with Wales and Ukraine with the winners of the play-off path taking their place at the Finals.

It's the first time Scotland have been in a Finals draw since the December 1997 draw for the following year's tournament in France and Craig Brown's side were actually in Pot Two for the event in Marseille, where they were paired against Brazil, Norway and Morocco.
