A lot has changed since 1998, when the men’s team last graced the World Cup, as this retro photo gallery capturing some of that year’s most memorable scenes shows.
It captures the highs and lows of Scotland’s World Cup campaign, which ended in heartache, plus fans on the terraces back home being put through the emotional wringer.
But these nostalgic pictures also show 90s life outside the football bubble, from school days to evenings at the pub.
Lost shops, from Woolworths to Jenners department store; popular attractions, including a much-loved rollercoaster and a fun-packed leisure pool; and the latest Christmas toy craze all feature too.
Elsewhere in these photos, taken across Scotland during 1998, Meatloaf and the Spice Girls are among the famous faces pictured, a well-known landmark is seen taking shape, and newborns are welcomed to the world.
Do these photos bring back any happy memories for you of life in Scotland during the late 90s?
If you’re hungry for more Scottish nostalgia, you might enjoy this look back at popular teachers and headteachers of the 90s.
