Scotland exits World Cup after disappointing group stage performances
Summary

Scotland has been eliminated from the World Cup following a group stage that saw them finish with only three points. After a 1-0 victory over Haiti, defeats to Morocco and Brazil left them unable to advance. Despite some fanfare off the pitch, including Boston declaring Glasgow a sister city, on-field performances failed to match expectations. Manager Steve Clarke faces scrutiny for tactical decisions and a lack of goal-scoring prowess. This World Cup marks Scotland's early exit for the third consecutive tournament under Clarke's management.
