Scotland ends World Cup campaign amid coach resignation and criticism

Scotland's participation in the World Cup concludes in disappointment as head coach Steve Clarke resigns following a poor performance in the U.S. Despite extensive preparations and support from the Scottish FA, the team failed to live up to expectations. Clarke had recently signed a four-year contract before the tournament but leaves with the team's hopes dashed. The players faced challenging heat and humidity conditions, which hampered their performance. As the squad heads home, a sense of regret permeates after an emotionally charged return to the World Cup after 28 years.
