Scotland’s near three-decade absence from the World Cup means the nation will finally see their nation take part in football’s premier tournament this summer - and the Tartan Army are sure to arrive in their thousands.
Set to face Haiti, Morocco, and Brazil in the tournament, supporters will head to the United States in June to roar on Steve Clarke’s side as they look to make history by becoming the first Scotland team in history to reach the knockout stages of a major tournament.
However, with the draw set to take place later this week, fans are also gearing up for the return of the Nations League later this year, where Scotland will look to achieve promotion back to League A in the 2026 edition of the competition.
Always backed in magnificent numbers, fans will be hoping for some exciting matches when the draw in made on Thursday afternoon, with SkyScanner likely to take a bit of a hammering over the next few days as fans book up their travel for the Nations League.
A few tipples are likely to be on the agenda, so here at The Scotsman, we’ve decided to rank each host potential Nations League opponents based on their average price for a pre-match pint.
