It will be four years before another World Cup rolls around and the Scotland squad will look markedly different by then.
What do you think of this potential 2030 starting XI - and who could fill the vacant centre-back spot? π€
π We can today announce the return of Ross McCrorie to the club on a three-year contract, with the option of a further year. The deal is subject to international clearance.
The defender, who came through the clubβs academy, has joined from English Championship side Bristol City for an undisclosed fee.

The Boston Globe newspaper send a message to the Scotland fans after spending their two opening games of the World Cup in the city πΊπΈπ€π΄σ §σ ’σ ³σ £σ ΄σ Ώ
A message from Football Park Scotland to the people of Boston and Providence!
Thank you very much for being quite amazing hosts for not only our on-site team but the whole of the Tartan Army, you have been unbelievable to each and every one of us. We know what a challenge it must have been to keep up with approx 50,000 of us who came to your communities throughout the course of the last twelve days or so but youβve have been the best hosts that we could have possibly asked for.
Weβve made new friends, weβve partied in the streets, drank in barsβ¦a lot, we went to our favourite sport at Gillette Stadium and then went to yours at Fenway Park, weβve taught you new dances which you have since taught back to others, weβve swapped Irn Bru for Root Beer, weβve laughed, sung and smiled a lot and weβve even helped to declare a new international allegiance between Boston and Glasgow and not once did you question to why we put cones on your statues.
At Euro 2024 in Germany we officially declared Cologne as our home from home, after our game against Switzerland, and it might never have been topped. Letβs just say now Boston and Providence is also now our other home from home, we just need to cross a big ocean to get there and hopefully one day we will get that direct bridge link between Boston and Scotland builtβ¦letβs just connect Cologne to it as well.
Our on-site team have now arrived in Miami where weβll continue to support our country and provide coverage so we hope you stick with us here on X(Twitter) and follow our journey and you can also find us on Instagram, Threads, TikTok and YouTube. Simply search Football Park Scotland and youβll find us.
On our @thefootballpark website we have left a blog of our days together as a memory of all that has happened, find it by clicking the link in our bio that links directly to our website and once on go to blogs and youβll find it from there.
We wouldnβt say goodbye as thereβs a chance we could return during the tournament, but only if certain scenarios and results occur but there is no guarantees in football. So instead letβs say see you later and we look forward to returning, whenever that will be, and we hope that one day you too can come and visit us back home in Scotland.
The Boston Globe, Boston's largest newspaper, penned an open letter to the Tartan Army for their unforgettable experiences in the city.
"Dear Tartan Army,
"You came for the World Cup, but gave us something more.
"For a week, you turned train stations into singalongs, Fenway into a football ground, and an ordinary June into something we'll be talking about for years.
"Boston has hosted championships, parades, and celebrations of every kind. But we've never hosted guests quite like you all.
"Thank you for the laughter, the bagpipes, and the memories. The World Cup will move on. So will the songs, but we'll never forget the joy you brought to our city."
No one does it like the Tartan Army π΄σ §σ ’σ ³σ £σ ΄σ Ώ
