Scotland reach World Cup 2026

Steve Clarke's side beat Denmark 4-2

Scotland have qualified for the 2026 FIFA Men's World Cup after a thrilling 4-2 victory over Denmark.

Goals from Scott McTominay, Lawrence Shankland, Kieran Tierney and Kenny McLean saw Steve Clarke's men top Group C to book an automatic place in next summer's finals, which will be held in the United States, Canada and Mexico.

McTominay opened the scoring with a stunning overhead kick before a Rasmus Hojlund penalty levelled things up.

Denmark were reduced to ten men just after the hour mark and when Shankland touched home from a corner to restore Scotland's lead, the dream was alive.

The Danes fought back once more through Manchester United's Patrick Dorgu but the drama wasn't over.

Celtic's Kieran Tierney curled home a wonderful strike on 93 minutes to send Hampden wild before Kenny McLean sealed matters in unbelievable fashion as he chipped Kasper Schmeichel with a shot from the halfway line.

The result ensures Scotland's men will compete at the world's best international tournament for the first time since France '98.
