⚡ Key points AI generated

Scotland returns to the World Cup after 28 years of absence, marking a historic milestone for Scottish football
Robertson and McTominay (Napoli player) lead Scotland's golden generation on their path to the tournament
Gilmour and other key talents join the pillars of the national team to seek success in the world competition

When the final whistle of qualification blew, Scottish fans were in tears. They'd been waiting 28 years for this moment — since France 1998, the last World Cup Scotland qualified for. Robertson, McTominay, Gilmour: a generation that's never experienced a World Cup.

🌟 Andy Robertson (Liverpool) is the captain and Scotland's best player of the last decade. A world-class left-back arriving in peak form.

🎯 Scott McTominay (Napoli) joined the Italian club in August 2024 and scored 15 goals in his first Serie A season. Absolutely ridiculous.

❌ No major injuries. Steve Clarke has been able to count on virtually all his players available.

🔙 Grant Hanley (Newcastle), the veteran 34-year-old defender, remains a starter in Scotland's back line.
