Scotland will return to the men’s FIFA World Cup for the first time since 1998 after a thrilling 4-2 victory over Denmark in their final Group C qualifier.

Scotland took a 1-0 lead into half-time thanks to a stunning 3rd-minute goal, before Denmark equalised in the 57th minute.

The second half ended 3-2 in favour of Scotland, with all five goals coming after the break in a dramatic finish.

Scotland top Group C and will now feature in the 2026 World Cup in the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
