Sadly, as we know, Steve Clarke’s Scotland side were unable to make it to the Qatar World Cup this winter after their play-off defeat to Ukraine earlier in the year.
Nonetheless the tournament has roared on despite a chorus of criticism aimed at the host country Qatar and its human rights record.
And with Scottish fans forced to watch on from the sidelines, many have picked a team to back at this month’s tournament – even if it has to rotate on a weekly basis!
However, to get a definitive list, we decided to ask Scotsman readers which team they are backing at Qatar 2022 – and here is what they said.
