Scotland set off for World Cup – in pictures

Scotland are on their way to the World Cup for the first time since 1998, with the squad flying out to a training base in Florida on Sunday morning.

“This is the third tournament this group has been at and we want to be the first Scottish team to get to the knockout stage,” said head coach Steve Clarke at Glasgow Airport.

“Hopefully we can show a bit of tournament experience and make it a summer to remember.”

There has been one late change to the squad of 26 players, with Billy Gilmour injured in Saturday’s friendly win over Curacao.

Manchester United’s Tyler Fletcher, 19, replaces the Napoli midfielder.

“Everybody is devastated for Billy,” said Clarke. “It’s heartbreaking when it happens at any time during a campaign, but for it to happen in the send-off game is particularly tough.”
