Scotland host Greece this evening aiming to retain their status in the Nations League’s top tier.
Scott McTominay’s penalty earned Scotland a 1-0 win in Greece on Thursday in the first leg of their promotion/relegation play-off. It was a disciplined performance from Steve Clarke’s side who defended resolutely for long periods of the clash.
Half-way there.

Scotland will be wary of a Greek side who had their chances in the first meeting. After narrowly missing out on automatic promotion behind England, Greece are keen to ensure their Nations League campaign ends with success. Their last visit to British soil saw Vangelis Pavlidis net twice in a 2-1 upset of England at Wembley.
