Steve Clarke senses ‘opportunity’ to end World Cup waitCraig Bellamy targets top of group after drawing Belgium
Steve Clarke has said Scotland’s qualifying draw “gives me an opportunity” to end the team’s long wait for a World Cup finals appearance. Scotland reached Euro 2020 and Euro 2024 but have not qualified for the men’s World Cup since France ‘98.
Friday’s draw in Zurich pitted Scotland – who were in pot three – against Greece, the beaten team in the Portugal v Denmark Nations League quarter-final and Belarus. It means Clarke’s side will face Greece four times in a year, with the teams also facing off in the Nations League promotion playoffs.
