Scotland have been eliminated from the 2026 World Cup following Croatia's 2-1 win over Ghana, with manager Steve Clarke announcing his resignation.
The result in Group L means Scotland cannot finish as one of the eight best third-placed teams that will reach the knockout stage.
Scotland announced Clarke would be stepping down after seven years in charge shortly after full-time.
It is another group-stage exit from a major tournament for Scotland, who have appeared at nine World Cups and four European Championships without ever progressing past the first phase.
Scotland began their first World Cup for 28 years by beating Haiti 1-0, the lowest-ranked team in their group, but stiffer tests lay ahead in Group C against two sides in the world's top 10.
A 1-0 defeat by Morocco was followed by Wednesday's 3-0 loss to Brazil in Miami, which left them third on three points and with a -3 goal difference.
Clarke and some of his players conceded after the Brazil defeat that progression to the last 32 was unlikely and they faced a wait of several days to discover their fate while the remaining matches in other groups were played.
Results such as Ecuador's comeback win against Germany reduced their predicted chance of progressing to 5.26% with six of the 12 groups still to be completed and Croatia's victory sealed Scotland's exit.

I’d gladly made a trade with the Scottish govt: we’ll keep the Tartan Army and they get Schumer, Pelosi, AOC, Obama, the Clintons, the Bidens, and Paul Ryan.
I wanted our Scottish caraids to succeed farther.
Do hang around the US for a while mates, you added to the experience.
This is our fault for not having enough beer.
At least they had a blast while they were here. That’s a good thing.
the fans were fun but the team sucked...i don’t know much about soccer but when i watched the Scots, and rooted for them, you could tell they were woefully outmatched...
I don't get a singular verb connected to a subject identifiying millions of people. The choice to use natural number in their eponymous language is one of the stupidest decisions the English ever took.

English language variations are diverse, and this extends to the usage of collective nouns like “team.” While American English predominantly opts for singular verbs with collective nouns, other English-speaking countries like the United Kingdom, Ireland, and New Zealand often prefer plural verbs.
British, Irish, and New Zealand English: In these varieties of English, it is more common to use plural verbs with collective nouns, such as “team.”
Example: The team are playing well tonight (British English).
Someone told them that a “Highlander” remake was coming and it broke their wee spirits.
𝘚𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘵𝘰𝘭𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘮 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘢 “𝘏𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘭𝘢𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘳” 𝘳𝘦𝘮𝘢𝘬𝘦 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘪𝘵 𝘣𝘳𝘰𝘬𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘪𝘳 𝘸𝘦𝘦 𝘴𝘱𝘪𝘳𝘪𝘵𝘴.
A Highlander remake for “modern audiences” would probably see “Elliot” Page cast as Connor MacLeod, with Leslie Jones cast as The Kurgan.
Awwww maaaaaan! Let Scotland stay and make the DemonicRAT Nstionslist Socialists go home.
