Scotland manager Steve Clarke is finalising his side's World Cup preparations, which include an overseas friendly against Ivory Coast. The match will take place at Everton's Hill Dickinson Stadium in Liverpool on March 31, kicking off at 7:30 PM. This marks the first time Scotland will face Ivory Coast. Everton moved into their new stadium in August.
The national team will also host Japan at Hampden Park on March 28, followed by Curacao on May 30. An additional overseas friendly is expected to be confirmed before the squad travels to the USA for pre-tournament training.
Clarke faces ongoing injury concerns within his squad as the World Cup approaches. Scotland is in Group C for the tournament, alongside Brazil, Morocco, and Haiti. Their campaign begins against Haiti on June 13, then Morocco on June 19, and concludes with Brazil on June 24. Fans have expressed concerns over the ticket prices for the Ivory Coast friendly, with costs ranging from £27 to £62.
