Scotland will face Switzerland in the final of the men’s World Curling Championship on Sunday – live on the BBC – after beating hosts Canada in a tense semi-final.
Bruce Mouat’s rink, who reached the last four by beating defending champions Sweden 8-7 earlier on Saturday, followed that with a 7-4 win against the Canadians.
The Scots had been the only nation to beat Canada in the round robin in Moose Jaw, and they led 5-4 in the knockout tie after the hosts blanked the ninth end.
The Olympic silver medallists took two in the last end, despite Canada having the hammer, to guarantee a world medal of at least the same colour in Sunday’s final (22:00 BST).
Team Mouat, seeking a fourth medal at world level, have already clinched an Olympic place for Great Britain for Milan-Cortina in 2026.
