Bruce Mouat's rink qualified for play-offs with win over Italy
Scotland claimed the final play-off spot at the World Men's Curling Championship with a 9-5 win over Italy.
Bruce Mouat's rink hammered Germany 9-2 on Friday and followed up with a crucial victory over the Italians in the early hours of Saturday.
That sent them through in sixth place with a record of eight wins and four draws. They face hosts Canada on Saturday for a semi-final spot.
"We were backs against the wall, but that was really good," Mouat said.
"We beat Canada in the round-robin and I don't see why we can't do it again."
