Scotland advancing to WC knockouts would be 'reward for mediocrity': Ex-captain Burley

Ex-Scotland captain Craig Burley said he has no problem with Scotland crashing out of the FIFA World Cup 2026. Burley stated that Scotland advancing to the tournament's knockouts would be a "reward for mediocrity". Scotland are placed third on Group C points table behind Brazil and Morocco. Scotland's chances of qualifying have diminished significantly after a 0-3 defeat to Brazil.
