  • This four-year deal provides stability for the squad, specifically including the 2028 European Championship that Scotland will co-host with England, Wales, and Ireland.
  • Scotland faces Group C opponents Brazil, Morocco, and Haiti in the 2026 World Cup in North America, a tournament qualified for last November with a 4-2 win over Denmark.
  • "During our discussions about the future we were all agreed that we cannot rest on our achievements," Maxwell said, emphasizing renewed purpose for the squad over four years.
