Scotland's World Cup 2026 fixtures, schedule, plus routes to knockout stage and beyond! Can Steve Clarke's side make history?
Scotland's World Cup dreams and hopes of progressing to the last 32 are hanging by a thread after their heavy defeat to Brazil.
After finishing their group on three points behind both Brazil and Morocco, Scotland can only progress to the last 32 as one of the top eight third-place sides.
Prior to kick-off against Brazil, Scotland had been in second place in the third-place table.
But the three-goal defeat to Brazil saw Scotland plunge to sixth in the table and in severe danger of being knocked out altogether once the group stage is completed.
"We have given ourselves a more difficult chance," said Scotland captain John McGinn. "It's unlikely now but we will see."
A frustrated Andy Robertson added: "If you ask me now, I don't think it is enough. Time will tell. The next couple of days will be horrible."
Opta previously estimated Scotland would have a 50 per cent chance of progressing with a minus-three goal difference.
