Next match details
The Curacao friendly marks the end of the pre-tournament preparation phase. According to the Scottish FA official fixtures page, Scotland will then face Bolivia on 6 June in Harrison before the World Cup opener against Haiti in the early hours of 14 June UK time.
The implication: With only two friendlies between now and the Haiti match, Clarke has limited opportunities to fine-tune his squad and settle on his preferred starting eleven.

Scotland last 10 games results
Looking at Scotland’s recent form across all competitions, the pattern shows a team that grind out results when it matters most. The qualifier campaign delivered consistency, while post-qualification friendlies have been tougher propositions against diverse international opposition.
Recent results table
The table below summarises Scotland’s recent competitive and friendly results.
| Opponent | Date | Venue | Score | Competition |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Belarus | Away | 2-0 | WC Qualifier | |
| Greece | Home | 3-1 | WC Qualifier | |
| Belarus | Home | 2-1 | WC Qualifier | |
| Greece | Away | 2-3 | WC Qualifier | |
| Denmark | Home | 4-2 | WC Qualifier | |
| Japan | Home | 0-1 | Friendly | |
| Cote D’Ivoire | Neutral | 0-1 | Friendly |
Form analysis
Scotland’s defensive record in qualifiers (three clean sheets in six matches) proved solid, though the 3-2 loss in Greece showed vulnerability at the back when under sustained pressure away from home. The post-qualification friendlies against Japan and Cote D’Ivoire resulted in narrow 0-1 defeats, suggesting Clarke used those matches for squad rotation rather than building momentum.
Scotland’s win rate of 67% across qualifiers (4/6) represents their best qualifying performance in recent memory. The challenge now is translating that form against higher-ranked World Cup opponents Haiti, Morocco, and Brazil.

Scotland face three World Cup group stage matches between 14 and 24 June 2026, all hosted in the United States. The venues span from Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts, to Hard Rock Stadium in Miami, Florida, creating a trans-American journey for the Tartan Army.
