Scotland ride luck to keep World Cup dreams alive
The Independent
|October 13, 2025
Scotland escaped embarrassment as they notched an unconvincing 2-1 win over Group C makeweights Belarus to take another step towards the 2026 World Cup finals.
On a night Steve Clarke took charge of the national side for a record-breaking 72nd time, striker Che Adams fired the home team ahead after 15 minutes to give the Scots the interval lead.
Carlos Alos's side had a goal disallowed in the second half for a foul on Scotland midfielder Scott McTominay in the buildup before the Napoli star struck in the 84th minute with a finish from 10 yards.
Belarus substitute Hleb Kuchko reduced the deficit in the sixth minute of added time and in a qualification section that might come down to goal difference - Belarus lost by five to Greece and six to Denmark - the Tartan Army had hoped for more goals and a more fluid performance.Nevertheless, the Scots have 10 points from 12 as they prepare to travel to Greece and host Denmark next month to conclude the quickfire qualification campaign.
