Key questions now Scotland are going to the World Cup


Make your own mind up on this one.

The three host nations automatically enter pot one, and it goes without saying, they are the three weakest – given the other nine are the best in the business. We’re due a kind draw too, surely?

So, naturally, Scotland would like to draw one of the USA, Canada and Mexico. Let’s just hope it goes better than the last time we faced a host nation at a major tournament… Ah, Munich.

A wee look at pot two, though, and there are some decent outfits in there.

Scotland can only play one other European nation in the groups, so there is a fair chance Morocco, Colombia, Uruguay, Japan, Senegal, Iran, South Korea, Ecuador and Australia could lie in wait.

It might be best to swerve the European trio in that pot: Croatia, Switzerland and Austria.

A hefty portion of pot four is still TBC. Imagine having to go through the play-offs? Wouldn’t be us…
