1998 was the last time the Scots qualified for a World Cup, but they are now potentially just 180 minutes away. Clarke’s side host Ukraine on June 1^st, the winner of that game will face Wales on June 5^th, to decide who takes the final place at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. 

The following week, in the Nations League, Scotland face Armenia home and away either side of a trip to the Aviva Stadium in Dublin to play Republic of Ireland. 

Cooper is currently sat on 11 international caps, all coming since 2019.
