Scotland Left in Limbo After Group C Finish with Three Points
Scotland ended the group stage of the 2026 FIFA World Cup with three points, securing third place in Group C. With a -3 goal difference, their fate now hinges on the results of other groups and the ranking of the eight best third‑placed sides.
If Bosnia and Herzegovina claim four points and other third‑placed teams surpass Scotland's goal difference, the Scots could be eliminated. Their final match on June 27 will be decisive as they aim to improve both points and goal margin.
