How well does Scotland perform in major tournaments?

Scotland's performance in major tournaments

Scotland has a long history of participating in major football tournaments, including the FIFA World Cup and the UEFA European Championship. However, their success in these tournaments has been limited. Of the 33 major tournament games they have played, they have only won six, giving them a win rate of 18%. This win rate is among the lowest of any European nation with at least 25 matches played at such tournaments.

Recent Scotland results

Scotland's recent results in major tournaments have been mixed. They failed to qualify for the 2018 FIFA World Cup and the 2020 UEFA European Championship. However, they did qualify for the 2022 FIFA World Cup, where they were eliminated in the group stage. They also qualified for the 2024 UEFA European Championship, where they will face Switzerland in the group stage. The match will be available to watch live on TV, BBC iPlayer Radio, BBC Sounds, and BBC Sport online.

Scotland's future prospects

Scotland's future prospects in major tournaments are difficult to predict. The team has a number of talented players, but they have yet to prove that they can consistently perform at the highest level. If they can improve their consistency, they have the potential to achieve success in future tournaments. However, they will need to be more clinical in front of goal and improve their defensive record if they want to challenge the top teams in the world.
