Scotland has qualified for the FIFA World Cup for the first time in 28 years. The national team will head to the 2026 tournament next summer in North America.

As reported by the Daily Record, Scotland beat Denmark 4-2 on Tuesday night in front of a capacity Hampden crowd. The victory clinched the country's place at the upcoming World Cup in Canada, Mexico, and the United States.

The Tartan Army will return to football's world stage in summer 2026 for the first time since 1998. Almost 30 years ago, Scotland's journey to World Cup in France ended in disappointment after losing to Brazil and Morocco in the group stage.

However, now Scotland has a chance to advance to the knockout stage for the first time ever. Following the country's victory in the qualifiers, the Tartan Army are already scrambling for flights to North America next year.

Ahead of Scotland's first time at the World Cup since 1998, the Daily Record has taken a look back in time at the country's appearances at the legendary football tournament. Going back all the way to 1954, we have a long history with one of the world's biggest international sporting competitions.
