Greece vs Scotland: Match Preview

Scotland's promotion to League A in the UEFA Nations League provided a beacon of just how far the national team has come on the continental stage in recent years, even displacing rivals England who dropped into the league below.

The Scots have appeared in each of the last two European Championships, having previously only appeared in two in their entire history, while wins over Spain and Croatia in recent years prove that the Tartan Army can contest at the top level of international football.

However, this season's Nations League campaign has seen them on the brink of relegation back to League B, finishing third in a group containing Portugal, Croatia and Poland now leaving them in a play-off with Greece, who beat England at Wembley in recent months, to maintain their spot.

Scotland's side is likely to feature a rejuvenated Scott McTominay, who has been in excellent form since his summer move from Napoli, as well as experienced heads like Andrew Robertson and John McGinn.
