The Celtic hero who’s not playing for Scotland but can help Steve Clarke qualify for the 2026 World Cup

Scotland's Bid for World Cup Qualification

Scotland's next fixture in their bid for automatic World Cup qualification is upcoming, with Celtic duo Anthony Ralston and Kieran Tierney in the squad.

Both players were selected by Steve Clarke and contributed to the excellent win against Greece. They are expected to be involved in the next match against Belarus.

However, another Celtic hero, Kasper Schmeichel, can also play a part in Scotland's qualification. Although he is not playing for Scotland, his team Denmark's result against Greece can impact Scotland's chances.

A draw in Denmark vs Greece is ideal as it means; IF Scotland beat Belarus & Denmark at home, then we qualify for the World Cup automatically.

Scotland's match against Belarus will be played at Hampden, while Denmark faces Greece at the Parken Stadion in Copenhagen.

Author's summary: Scotland's World Cup qualification hopes rely on upcoming matches.
