Scotland's World Cup squad numbers reveal an interesting situation in goal, with Angus Gunn handed the No 1 jersey despite Hearts' Craig Gordon tipped to start. Captain Andy Robertson keeps his familiar No 3, while Scott McTominay and John McGinn wear Nos 4 and 7 respectively, maintaining their established roles in the national team.

The inclusion of Tyler Fletcher in No 8 suggests he'll likely replace injured Billy Gilmour rather than start games. In attack, Che Adams gets the prized No 10 shirt ahead of Lawrence Shankland, who wears No 20. The squad numbering reflects Steve Clarke's tactical preferences and the players' importance to the team's strategy.

Scotland's World Cup preparations continue with the squad finalized for their Group C matches against Brazil, Morocco, and Haiti. The combination of experienced leaders and emerging talent in the squad numbering indicates Clarke's balanced approach to tournament competition, with specific roles clearly defined for each player in the 26-man squad.
