How to watch Scotland vs Belarus: kick-off time, TV details, tickets and team news after Greece injuries and suspensions
Everything you need to know ahead of Scotland’s latest World Cup 2026 qualifier
After the Scots’ smash and grab victory over the Greeks, next up is Belarus at home.
Steve Clarke’s men took another step closer to Canada, USA and Mexico, with a win the Scotland boss described as ‘not pretty’. After an underwhelming first hour, Konstantinos Tsimikas opened the scoring for the visitors, who were dominating the game. However, a set-piece goal out of nowhere from Ryan Christie, followed by Lewis Ferguson’s first goal for his country gave the Scots a shock lead. Lyndon Dykes then capitalised on a Konstantinos Tzolakis goalkeeping error to fire home and secure three precious points.
Scotland now find themselves second place in World Cup qualification Group C, behind leaders Denmark on goal difference. A win against Belarus could leave the Scots in a position which guarantees them a play-off, if other results go their way. However, the match must not be seen as a ‘gimme’ as the visitors caused Steve Clarke’s side problems in the previous fixture.

What is the Scotland team news ahead of Belarus?
Ryan Christie and Lewis Ferguson were both cautioned against Greece and will therefore be suspended for the Belarus tie. Aaron Hickey is also a major doubt for the match, after he went off with a muscle injury. Clarke said in his post-match press conference that it is an ongoing issue.
He said, “Aaron was actually a doubt to start the game after picking up a small knock to his knee and I think he’s just aggravated it. I don’t know for sure yet, but that was the reason I called Max (Johnston) into the squad as cover.” The fitness of the Brentford man has been a real concern of late, since he just returned from a hamstring injury which seen him sidelined for nearly two years.
