Scotland manager Steve Clarke has all but confirmed his side's elimination from the 2026 FIFA World Cup, conceding the brutal reality following a 3-0 defeat to Brazil in their final Group C fixture.

The result leaves Scotland with little hope of progressing beyond the round of 32, with Clarke admitting plainly: "I think we're going home."

Captain Andy Robertson and midfielder John McGinn echoed their manager's bleak assessment, acknowledging that the heavy loss to Brazil has almost certainly ended Scotland's campaign in North America.

Brazil's commanding victory ensured they topped the group standings, while Scotland's failure to score across the match proved decisive — leaving Clarke's men without the result they needed to extend their stay in the tournament.

It marks a painful conclusion to Scotland's group stage journey, as the side was unable to convert their place on football's biggest stage into a run deep into the competition.
