Scotland manager Steve Clarke has officially confirmed his 26-man squad for the upcoming 2026 World Cup, set to take place in the United States this summer. The squad features a mix of experienced veterans and emerging talents, aiming to make an impact on the global stage.
Goalkeepers
The goalkeeping department includes veteran Craig Gordon, alongside Angus Gunn and Liam Kelly.
Defenders
The defensive line is bolstered by Grant Hanley, Jack Hendry, Aaron Hickey, Dom Hyam, Scott McKenna, Nathan Patterson, Anthony Ralston, captain Andy Robertson, John Souttar, and Kieran Tierney.
Midfielders
In midfield, Clarke has selected Ryan Christie, Findlay Curtis, Lewis Ferguson, Ben Gannon-Doak, Billy Gilmour, John McGinn, Kenny McLean, and Scott McTominay.
Forwards
The attacking options include Che Adams, Lyndon Dykes, George Hirst, Lawrence Shankland, and Ross Stewart.
The squad reflects a balance of Premier League experience and domestic form, with Robertson and Tierney providing leadership at the back, while McGinn and McTominay offer creativity and energy in midfield. Up front, Adams and Dykes will be key to Scotland's goal-scoring hopes.
Scotland will face tough competition in the group stage, but Clarke's selection demonstrates confidence in the team's ability to compete. The tournament kicks off in June, with Scotland aiming to progress beyond the group stage for the first time in their history.
