Charlie Cummings breaks down the odds for Scotland’s top scorer during the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
The scenes at the 2026 World Cup qualifiers were something to behold. Scotland, absent from the World Cup since 1998, had its qualification chances come down to the last game of the tournament. To make it more dramatic, its match against Denmark went to the wire. All it took was one special moment to put the Scots in the tournament — a moment their fans will never forget.
Now it’s down to business as Scotland looks to shock the world. Who will lead this team in goals scored during the 2026 World Cup? Is Scott McTominay destined to lead the team, or will another Scotsman step up?
Let’s take a look at the best odds for the top goalscorer for Scotland on DraftKings Sportsbook:
No surprise to see Scott McTominay at the top of the odds. A prolific scorer out of his central midfield spot, McTominay found the back of the net twice during the qualifying stage. That tied him with Ché Adams, the go-to striker for manager Steve Clarke, who is second in odds. Lawrence Shankland, who scored one of the memorable goals in that win over Denmark, places third. Veteran Aston Villa midfielder John McGinn comes in fourth, while Ryan Christie — who also scored twice in the qualifiers — rounds out the top five.
It is important to remember that Scotland got a very tough group draw. Brazil and Morocco are the overwhelming favorites to advance, and are two legitimate contenders to win the whole thing. Odds are, we only have three games to settle the winner here, putting even more pressure on each goal.
Now we know Scotland’s attacking group a bit better. But who is the best pick out of this group?
This is where I’ve got my eye on a young gun like Ben Doak. His blend of speed and skill makes him excellent at taking on 1-v-1 matchups on the outside, and he has moments of lethal counterattack. When separating between a few games, you can take a shot on someone who only needs one or two big moments to make a difference. That is Doak to a T.
