McLEAN’S MISSION TO END WORLD CUP WAIT
Scottish Daily Express
|September 11, 2025
KENNY McLEAN is desperate to give the Tartan Army “a summer to remember” by helping Scotland reach the 2026 World Cup finals.
The 33-year-old Norwich midfielder has been a regular member of the national squads since making his Scotland debut in March 2016 in a Prague friendly against Czech Republic.
The Scots have featured at the most recent two European Championships — McLean missed the delayed 2020 finals through injury but was in Germany last summer — but so far the World Cup finals have eluded him and Scotland, who last qualified for the tournament in 1998.
