Scotland faces Haiti in the 2026 FIFA World Cup, a match that holds significant weight for the nation. The Scots have a history of underperformance in World Cup tournaments, with only four wins from 23 games. The expansion of the tournament presents an opportunity for Scotland to break free from this pattern of failure. The match against Haiti, ranked 83rd in the world, is a chance for Scotland to make history and progress to the last 32. The Scots will need to overcome Haiti's pace and physicality, but the team's preparations have been promising, with a focus on a balanced forward line. The match will be a test of Scotland's ability to exorcise their World Cup ghosts and move forward with a sense of optimism.
