Scotland have finally discovered their 2026 World Cup opponents.

The draw for the group stage of the competition has been made this evening in Washington DC.

Steve Clarke's side created history last month with a 4-2 victory over Denmark sealing Scotland's place at the major finals for the first time in 28 years.

Now, anticipation will be ramped up even further, with Scotland officially drawn into Group C.

Here, they will face Brazil from Pot 1, Morocco from Pot 2, and Haiti from Pot 4.

The first game for Steve Clarke's side will be on June 13 against the Haitians, in either New York or Boston. Fixtures and venues will be fully confirmed tomorrow.
