Two key players secure their spots in Scotland's World Cup squad while rising star Lennon Miller faces heartbreak.
Scotland's World Cup dreams got a major boost as manager Steve Clarke named Ross Stewart and Findlay Curtis in his final squad for the tournament. The duo's inclusion brings attacking firepower and defensive stability to a Scottish side hungry to make their mark on football's biggest stage.
Stewart, whose clinical finishing has been turning heads across European leagues, earned his place through consistent performances that have made him impossible to ignore. Meanwhile, Curtis brings the kind of versatility and work rate that tournaments demand, giving Clarke crucial tactical flexibility as Scotland prepares to battle the world's elite.
The biggest shock came with Lennon Miller's omission from the squad. The young midfielder, who has been generating buzz with his dynamic play and vision, will have to watch from home as his international teammates chase World Cup glory. Miller's exclusion highlights just how competitive Scottish football has become, with established stars holding their ground against emerging talent.
As African nations continue to showcase their growing influence in global football, Scotland's squad selection reflects the intense competition every confederation faces in modern international football. The World Cup stage awaits, and Stewart and Curtis now have the chance to write their names into Scottish football folklore.
