Scotland Near Unwanted National Record Before North Macedonia Match
Scotland are closing in on an unwanted national record as they prepare to face North Macedonia in the UEFA Nations League on October 3. The match comes with Scotland enduring a prolonged run without finding the net.
Scotland have now gone 422 minutes without scoring. Their latest goal came from John McGinn, whose deflected strike against Haiti in Boston was Scotland’s last goal during the 2026 World Cup.
John McGinn Goal Remains Scotland’s Latest
McGinn’s effort against Haiti is still the most recent entry on Scotland’s scoring record. Since that deflected strike, Scotland have completed 422 minutes without another goal, leaving the team close to an unwanted national milestone.
The upcoming UEFA Nations League fixture against North Macedonia on October 3 will therefore carry added significance for Scotland’s attack. A goal would end the current 422-minute drought, while another scoreless period would move Scotland closer to the national record referenced ahead of the match.
Why This Matters
Scotland’s goal drought places particular focus on the team’s attacking performance against North Macedonia. With John McGinn’s goal against Haiti remaining the last time Scotland scored, the October 3 UEFA Nations League match represents the next opportunity to halt the run and avoid setting an unwanted national record.
