International Friendly LIVE: Scotland vs Curaçao: score, radio commentary, text updates & match stats

Curacao became the smallest nation by both population and area to qualify for World Cup finals when they topped their group ahead of Jamaica, Trinidad & Tobago and Bermuda in November.

They also became the sixth non-sovereign national team to qualify after England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland (as constituent countries of the United Kingdom), and the Dutch East Indies, a colony that competed in the 1938 tournament.

Curacao have only existed in their present status since 2011, when the island officially became a separate country within the Kingdom of the Netherlands.

They competed previously as the Territory of Curacao from 1924 but then the Netherlands Antilles from 1954.

Having steered the present side to the World Cup, former Rangers manager Dick Advocaat resigned in February citing his daughter’s health concerns only to return after her improvement and amid unhappiness with successor Fred Rutten.

At 78, he is destined to become the oldest manager at a World Cup finals.

Twelve of Advocaat’s 26-man squad play their football in the Netherlands, including former Rangers midfielder Juninho Bacuna, now of Volendam.

However, they are captained by Leandro Bacuna, the 34-year-old former Aston Villa, Reading, Cardiff City and Watford midfielder now with Igdir, with former Livingston full-back Joshua Brenet also in Turkey with Kayserispor.

Meanwhile, midfielder Gervane Kastaneer, now with Terengganu in Malaysia, had a loan spell with Heart of Midlothian from Coventry City.

Former Swansea City trainee winger Kenji Gorre is with Maccabi Haifa and former Brighton & Hove Albion forward Jurgen Locadia is with Miami.

Three of the squad currently play in England – winger Sontje Hansen is with Middlesbrough, while midfielders Tahith Chong and Ar’jany Martha are with Sheffield United and Rotherham United, respectively.
