Spain vs Scotland – Euro 2024 qualifier LIVE: Steve Clarke’s men need a single point to secure place at next summer’s tournament

After his side were beaten 2-0 in the first leg of this clash back in March, Luis de la Fuente has named a strong side to take on Scotland tonight.

Simone starts in net, with Balde, Laporte, Le Normand and Carvajal making up a back four in front of him.

Rodri occupies the central midfield position, and it will be interesting to see how he performs tonight after his comments about the way the Scots played against his side at Hampden earlier this year. He’s flanked in midfield by Merino and Gavi.

Up top, the Spain boss has opted for a front three of Oyarzabal and Ferran Torres on the wings, with Morata the spearhead of the attack.

So Steve Clarke looks to be going with a back-five, after much speculation had revolved around whether he would switch to a back four in the absence of Kieran Tierney.

The defender sustained a hamstring injury while playing for Real Sociedad earlier this month.

It means Clarke has gone for a defensive line-up of Hickey and Robertson in the full-back positions, with Hendry, Porteous and McKenna at the back.

McGinn, McTominay, Christie and McGregor line up as the four midfielders with Dykes starting up top alone against Spain.
