They host World No. 110 side Cyprus on Saturday and they have the perfect opportunity to get three points on the board before the Spain showdown.

Scotland will be hoping to finish second in their Euro 2024 qualifying group behind Spain and ahead of Cyprus, Georgia and Norway.

Clarke's men didn't qualify for the World Cup in Qatar last year but they'll be determined to book their place at Euro 2024, just like they did in Euro 2020.

Scotland finished bottom of the group in 2020 behind England, Croatia and the Czech Republic – however, facing Cyprus on Saturday will be an easier task.
