Ahem you did not qualify in :
1970
1974
1978
1982
etc
You have been on a lucky streak in more recent times due to seeding but get found wanting come the finals 😛
Also interesting to note that "found wanting come the finals" generally still means "getting out of the group stage".
That must be irritating. Even when you were laughing at England's poor performance in the last World Cup, there's still the awareness that Scotland have never done even that well.

All scots were happy to follow their clan leaders when they heard that their soli was being used by sassenachs
Scots the aggressor hundreds of miles north of the border - wake up your kin were the agressors and that is why they were on our soil
