Greece vs Scotland LIVE: Latest rating and objective updates from Nations League relegation play-off
Scotland visit Greece in the first leg of the Nations League play-off, which the Scots must win to remain in the top-tier of the competition.
Steve Clarke’s side finished third in Group A1, behind Portugal and Croatia but ahead of Poland, as the Tartan Army narrowly missed out on the quarter-finals but fell into the play-off rounds.
After a play-off draw, Scotland will take on Greece, who finished runners-up to England in League B. The Greeks are on the hunt for promotion to League A after an impressive campaign, which included victory at Wembley.
Scotland will therefore need to be at their best as Clarke’s side look to take a positive result back to Hampden for the second leg on Sunday. Scotland are also building up to the start of the World Cup qualifying campaign, which gets underway in September.
