The Scotland national football team made history in 2017 by beating Brazil 1-0 in the Toulon Tournament.

What happened?

The team's victory was led by Greg Taylor's strike, which sealed the win. This achievement is significant, especially considering the team's upcoming fixture vs Brazil on 2026-06-24.

Key players

The 2017 squad included notable players such as Jack Ruddy, Anthony Ralston, and Alex Iacovitti. Ruddy, the former Wolves keeper, played a crucial role in Scotland's clean sheet. Ralston, currently at the World Cup with Scotland, had a good game against Brazil and has since become a reliable squad player for Celtic.
