Reliving a Historic Tournament
The 1998 World Cup in France was a significant event for Scottish football, as the team competed in Group A alongside Brazil, Norway, and Morocco. Scotland opened with a 2-1 defeat to Brazil, followed by a 1-1 draw with Norway and a 3-0 loss to Morocco, finishing bottom of the group. Despite the results, the tournament remains a cherished memory for fans and players alike.
Players Reflect on Past Glories
Curtis and Gordon, both current squad members, watched match highlights and discussed key moments from the tournament.
