THE Scotland squad for this month’s final World Cup qualifiers has been announced.
Steve Clarke has confirmed the pool of players that will join up with the camp for the decisive clashes with Greece and Denmark.
The double-header will determine Scotland‘s World Cup fate.
With 10 points from a possible 12 so far, the unbeaten Scots are assured of at least a play-off berth.
But it could get SO much better with automatic qualification still up for grabs with Clarke’s side only behind Denmark on goal difference.
With the Danes having an already superior GD and the fact they’re taking on Belarus – who are without a point – in their first game, the Scots know they’ll likely need a positive result in Greece on November 15 to keep things alive.
