Overview
- On the day Scotland Supporters Club applications opened, Steve Clarke urged fans not to go into debt for World Cup tickets given FIFA’s high prices.
- The SFA has taken roughly 8% of stadium capacity for its allocation as many supporters face dynamic pricing and resale markets for any additional tickets.
- Scotland will confirm their U.S. training camp next month, with March friendlies being lined up and a Hampden send-off targeted for June 5 or 6 before a Florida acclimatisation.
- Clarke plans early‑year talks with Newcastle’s Harvey Barnes about a possible switch, with the winger still eligible through his grandparents despite a 2020 England friendly cap.
- The manager confirmed a 26‑man squad for the finals, stressing loyalty to the qualifiers while keeping limited places open for form and fitness.
