Scotland beaten by Japan at home in friendly

Junya Ito's late goal gave Japan a 1-0 win over Scotland in Steve Clarke's side's first 2026 World Cup warm-up game.

Clarke's players left the Hampden Park pitch to euphoric scenes in November after their dramatic 4-2 win over Denmark qualified them for the finals in North America, but their return to the national stadium was a much more sedate event.
