McLean: Scots will have a hero in World Cup qualifiers

KENNY McLean is confident that a Scotland hero will emerge during this week's World Cup qualifiers against Greece and Belarus at Hampden Park.

The 33-year-old Norwich midfielder is a regular in Steve Clarke's squad and enjoyed the limelight when he scored a stunning last-gasp winner in the 2-1 victory over Norway in June 2023, a key result on the way to Euro 2024.

McLean also scored the decisive penalty for Scotland in their Euro 2020 qualifying playoff semifinal against Israel, and then netted the fifth spot-kick when they beat Serbia in the final in another shootout to qualify for their first major tournament since 1998.

Scotland, who have four points from their first two Group C matches, take on Greece at Hampden Park tomorrow before hosting Belarus on Sunday and, with there being only six qualifying fixtures, there is little margin for error.
