Red-hot Robbie Ure is eyeing a place in Scotland’s World Cup squad amid his astonishing scoring streak.

The former Rangers striker grabbed his ninth goal of the season after just ten games as he helped his Sirius side to a 2-2 draw at Hacken to keep them on top of the Swedish League.

The Scotland Under 21 goal machine was reportedly also on the radar of Ukraine because he is eligible to play for them.

However, the 22-year-old ex-Anderlecht forward admitted after netting again that he’s hoping to catch Steve Clarke’s eye and sneak onto the plane to the USA.

Ure said: “It would be a dream to be selected for the World Cup. Right now I’m just trying to create as many questions as possible for our national team manager. I haven’t been in any squads yet, but it would be incredible to be selected.

“I want to keep playing like this and give the management some selection problems. Honestly, I read about the Ukraine interest, but I don’t know more than that. But I’m Scottish, so…. But I’m not in contact with any national teams right now.

“I think no matter who you ask, they would say that going to the World Cup and playing for your country is a once-in-a-lifetime chance. We’ll see, hopefully, I keep scoring goals. I’m sure everything will fall into place eventually. Now I’m just focusing on Sirius.”

Meanwhile, Boston World Cup organisers have given the Tartan Army the green light to join in the American tradition of tailgating at the World Cup after revealing they blundered by not understanding a FIFA directive.

Tens of thousands of Scotland fans will be in the States, despite ludicrously expensive ticket prices, accommodation and transportation costs.

Boston Soccer 2026, the organisers for the games at the stadium, announced last month FIFA rules meant tailgating – the long-established pre-game tradition in parking areas, where fans ‘cook food and consume beverages several hours before kick off – would be banned for Scotland’s two games there.

However, FIFA quickly moved to clarify it wasn’t their rules and now Boston Soccer 2026 chiefs have admitted they made a clanger.
