Scotland's Major Football Tournaments: All 11 World Cups and Euros the Scots qualified for - and how they did

As Scotland look forward to being involved in Euro 2024, we're taking a look back at the trials and tribulations suffered by the national team over the years.

It's offical: Scotland's football team are through to their second European Championships on the trot after Spain's 1-0 win over Norway guaranteed Steve Clarke's side a top-two finish in Group A.

With two games still to play all that is to be decided is who tops the group - with Spain currently ahead on goal difference.

The 2024 tournament, which will be hosted by Germany, will be Scotland's 12th major championships since the World Cup was established in 1930.

Famously the team have yet to emerge from the group stages to reach the knock-out phase of either a World Cup or European Championships.

Here's how that's happened - a tale of near misses, narrow defeats and going out on goal difference.
