Scotland prepare for Bolivia friendly ahead of World Cup return

Scotland will face Bolivia in an international friendly on Saturday as part of preparations for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

The match kicks off at 21:00 BST in the United States. It marks Scotland's first friendly on American soil ahead of their return to the tournament after a 28-year absence. Striker Lawrence Shankland said a win would put the team in a good position for their opening group game against Haiti. He noted the importance of proper preparation following last week's 4-1 victory over Curacao. Bolivia coach Oscar Villegas plans to give opportunities to younger players during the match. Several players from both sides are unavailable due to injuries or visa issues. Predicted line-ups include Guillermo Viscarra in goal for Bolivia and Liam Kelly for Scotland. Coverage will be available on BBC Two and BBC iPlayer.
