Scotland have confirmed their squad numbers for the FIFA World Cup 2026, with Nottingham Forest goalkeeper Angus Gunn assigned the No 1 shirt — despite Hearts' Craig Gordon widely expected to start between the posts.

Gordon, Scotland's long-serving first-choice keeper, will wear No 21. The allocation suggests the numbering is administrative rather than a direct signal of the starting lineup under manager Steve Clarke.

Key numbers for key players

Captain Andy Robertson retains his familiar No 3, while Scott McTominay takes No 4 and John McGinn wears his trademark No 7. The trio are central to Clarke's plans as Scotland prepare for their opening group game against Haiti on June 14.

Late call-up Tyler Fletcher has been handed No 8 — the number vacated by the injured Billy Gilmour. Clarke's camp made clear the assignment should not be read as a guarantee that the Manchester United teenager will feature from the start.

In attack, Lyndon Dykes carries No 9 and Che Adams wears No 10, with Hearts striker Lawrence Shankland assigned No 20.
