Craig Burley has expressed doubts about Scotland's qualifications for the next stage of the World Cup after their recent defeats to Morocco and Brazil. Scotland began Group C with a 1-0 victory over Haiti, followed by losses of the same score to Morocco and a 3-0 defeat to Brazil. Although there is a possibility for Scotland to advance as one of the best third-placed teams, this is contingent on favorable results from other groups. Burley argues that the team's performance reflects a lack of quality compared to past Scotland sides, suggesting they do not deserve to progress.
- •Scotland started Group C with a 1-0 win against Haiti.
- •The team suffered a 1-0 loss to Morocco and a 3-0 loss to Brazil.
- •Scotland may qualify as a third-placed team if results align favorably.
- •Burley criticized the team's lack of quality compared to historical standards.

"Craig Burley does not believe Scotland "deserve" to progress at the World Cup after slumping to defeat by Morocco and Brazil. Steve Clarke's side had opened Group C with a 1-0 victory over Haiti but then lost by the same score to Morocco. Scotland could yet progress to the round of 32 as one of the eight best third-placed teams - but only if results in other groups go their way.
