Hearts striker could etch name in Scottish history

Ten goals in 16 appearances at club level earned him recognition from national coach Steve Clarke. Shankland replaced Hibs forward Kieron Bowie in the squad for the final two World Cup qualifiers, with Scotland joint-top of Group C alongside the Danes. It is unlikely he will play from the start in Greece, with Ché Adams, Lyndon Dykes and George Hirst all probably ahead of him in the queue.

Shankland didn't start any of Scotland's matches at last summer's European Championship in Germany, so a place at World Cup 2026 in USA, Canada and Mexico would be something of a second chance.

Scotland need to avoid defeat in Greece and then beat Denmark at Hampden to win the group and qualify automatically. A playoff spot is already secured, with Greece eliminated. Scoring the goal to secure World Cup qualification would see Shankland etch his name in folklore.
