Hearts and Hibs stars could be involved in a momentous match for Scotland as they face Brazil in their final World Cup 2026 group stage match.
The Tartan Army have swapped Boston for the soaring heat of Miami after a win over Haiti and defeat to Morocco. A draw would likely be enough to clinch qualification as one of the best third-placed sides in the tournament but defeat - especially by a heavier margin - would spark a nervous wait. Victory would go down as one of the nation’s greatest-ever triumphs and book another clash on the biggest stage.
Boss Steve Clarke faces key personnel choices with Hearts’ Craig Gordon and Hibs’ Grant Hanley amongst those available to him. With two changes to the team that lost 1-0 versus Morocco, here’s who we think will start against Brazil.
