Scotland's Path to 2026 World Cup Qualification
Scotland is gearing up for their next fixture in the bid for automatic World Cup qualification, with Celtic duo Anthony Ralston and Kieran Tierney in the squad.
The Celtic pair were selected by Steve Clarke and contributed to the excellent win against Greece. They are expected to be involved in the upcoming match against Belarus.
However, another Celtic hero, Kasper Schmeichel, can also play a part in Scotland's qualification journey. Although he won't be playing for Scotland, the outcome of Denmark's match against Greece can impact Scotland's chances.
A draw in Denmark vs Greece is ideal as it means; "IF Scotland beat Belarus & Denmark at home, then we qualify for the World Cup automatically.
With this scenario in mind, Schmeichel's Denmark taking on Greece can indirectly influence Scotland's path to the 2026 World Cup.
