I seem to think that we've always had something to play for in our final group match (going back as far as '78).
Anyone know any different?

Have Scotland Been Eliminated After 2 Group Matches of WC?

However, IIRC in 78 we were penalised 2 (3?) points after the event for the Willie Johnston drugs-test. So, even though we nearly made it through on the park, think we would have been turfed out anyways.

1954
There were only three teams in the group, therefore two matches, and Scotland lost both.

Don't be too hard on yourselves. If you'd qualified more regularly you'd have surely accomplished such a fine feat by now! ;)

That sounds like one of these, weak counter points that fans of garbage teams use in arguments...
England fan: Scotland are *****
Scotland fan: At least we have never been eliminated from the world cup after our first two games
England fan: That must mean you are better than us
Scotland: Thats right, hold on while I check the score, oh we just got beat of New Caledonia 3-1. Still at least we have never been eliminated from the world cup after our first two games

We've never been past the first round. And haven't been in a tournament since 1998. Best we keep quiet and just qualify for one!

England haven't either. There was 4 group games played before they were out.
