Scotland Wins Friendly 4-0, Prepares for World Cup Qualifiers

Scotland's national football team, under the management of Steve Clarke, is preparing to qualify for the World Cup for the first time since 1998, with expectations rising among fans. Clarke's recent tactics, including a 4-4-2 formation, led to a 4-0 friendly victory over Liechtenstein, highlighted by Che Adams scoring a hat-trick and George Hirst netting his first international goal, boosting team morale. Young midfielder Lennon Miller impressed with his composure and key contributions, suggesting his potential role as a reliable substitute in future matches. Clarke has a variety of midfield options, including Billy Gilmour, Scott McTominay, John McGinn, Kenny McLean, Ryan Christie, and hopes to bring back Callum McGregor for added versatility. Despite some recent setbacks, the positive performances and integration of new players like Andy Irving, Josh Doig, Connor Barron, and Kieron Bowie provide optimism as Scotland approaches their World Cup qualifiers. The team faces a challenging group but aims to top it and secure direct qualification to the tournament in the Americas next year.
