Steve Clarke takes Scotland to Greece against backdrop of hope and unease

Scotland is on the verge of qualifying for its first World Cup since 1998, with manager Steve Clarke leading the team to Greece amidst a mix of hope and unease. Scotland needs at least a point from their upcoming match against Greece, and a subsequent victory against Denmark at Hampden Park could secure their place in the tournament next summer. This opportunity marks Scotland's best chance for World Cup qualification in decades, as they last topped their qualifying group in 1982. The team is looking to build on a crucial win against Sweden in 1981, despite recent poor performances that prompted Clarke to address the squad's focus.
