Scotland v Curacao LIVE: Hirst has early chance but sends header wide in World Cup 2026 friendly | OneFootball

Scotland 0-0 Curacao

14 mins: The Bacuna brothers combine just outside the Scotland box with Leandro slipping a pass into Juninho.

Juninho is brought down on the edge of the area and wants a free kick but the referee waves for play to go on.

Billy Gilmour, who made the tackle, didn’t make much contact, certainly not enough to put the Curacao man on the deck.

11 mins: Steve Clarke wanted this match up with Curacao to get a feel for what it’ll be like to face Haiti at the World Cup.

Scotland will need to beat Haiti to make it out of the group stage as Morocco and Brazil are more difficult tests.

Almost time for kick off

Scotland take on Curacao at Hampden Park this afternoon as they continue to prepare for their World Cup campaign.

A couple of wins in these friendlies will bring confidence to the squad before they begin their group stage.

It could be a tricky one for Scotland to get out of but the more momentum they can bring into the World Cup the better off they’ll be.

Let’s see if they can win today. Kick off is up next...

Sharing the load

Scotland's last 10 goals across all competitions have been scored by nine different players, with Napoli midfielder Scott McTominay the only player to score more than once during this run.

However, they have failed to find the back of the net in each of their past two matches – losing 1-0 to both Ivory Coast and Japan.
