Scotland face Poland in the final match of their Nations League group stage campaign, with Steve Clarke’s side looking to avoid relegation from Group A1.
The Scots secured a home win over Croatia at Hampden Park last week to end their long winless run, thanks to a goal from John McGinn, and that result left them level on points with tonight’s opponents but still at the bottom of the group.
Clarke’s men know that nothing other than a win will do this evening, and they face a Poland side that was beaten 5-1 by Portugal in Porto last week.
However, the Scots know they will need to be better – and more clinical – than they were when these two sides met in September, when a last-minute penalty gave Poland a 3-2 win at Hampden Park.

Poland 0-1 Scotland
A dangerous Poland attack comes to nothing in the end as a man had strayed offside, and there’s some respite for Scotland, which continues as McGinn is scythed down by Piatowski, who is booked.
A chance for a dangerous set-piece for the Scots!

Doak creates yet another chance as he squares it to McTominay in the box, but the Napoli man is just leaning back and he rifles it well over.

Poland 0-1 Scotland
Zalewski is the latest to cut in and take a shot from distance, but he drags it wide of the near post.

CLOSE! More great defending, this time from Poland. Scotland break and it’s McGinn and McLean leading the charge, with the latter laying it off to the Villa man in the box. He hits a great low cross to Dykes at the front post, but his shot is deflected behind with a sliding challenge!
There was a change at half-time to report: Bartosz Slisz came on for Poland, and he replaced Jakub Moder.

CLOSE! Excellent defending from Souttar!
Poland have had all the ball since the whistle and they pour numbers forward, and it comes to Kaminski on the right of the box. He fools Robertson with the stepover and fires a low shot that’s beaten Gordon, but Souttar slides in to prevent it from crossing the line!

HALF-TIME! Poland 0-1 Scotland
It’s been quite an even game in terms of meaningful chances, with both sides having good opportunities.
Although Poland dominated possession for a period after conceding, they couldn’t create a lot of clear-cut openings, while Scotland hit the woodwork twice!

HALF-TIME! Poland 0-1 Scotland
It’s been a successful half for Scotland, with a big 45 minutes ahead to avoid relegation from their group. If everything goes their way, they could still stay in the race for promotion via a play-off!
Another goal for Scotland or Portugal would mean that Croatia would drop to third.
