Scotland were in a bad way ahead of tonight's World Cup matches, and once the results from Group L came in, it was clear that the team no longer had a chance of finishing among the eight best third-placed teams.

Around the same time, the news came that national team coach Steve Clarke was leaving.

"Our most successful manager has ended his seven-year tenure following our participation in the 2026 World Cup," the Scottish Football Association said in a statement, according to AFP.

Scotland exits the World Cup after one win and two losses.
