Spain vs. Scotland LIVE: News and lineups of the Euro 2024 qualifying teams

Scotland need just a point against Spain on Thursday to qualify for Euro 2024, with Steve Clarke’s team currently top of Group A.

With five wins from five games, the Tartan Army are close to punching their ticket to Germany next summer, but a clash with the 2008 and 2012 European champions promises to be their toughest game of the season so far.

Spain got off to a slow start in qualifying for the 2024 European Championship, but is making up for lost time after winning the Nations League in the summer.

Football betting sites have rated Spain as favorites to win all three points in Seville, but Scotland will be dangerous opponents.

Scotland have also lost a number of players from their squad: Ryan Jack has remained with Rangers after recently picking up an injury against Aberdeen, and Kevin Nisbet is also out with a hamstring injury. A similar affliction resulted in Kieran Tierney being left out of Steve Clarke’s squad, with the player on loan from Arsenal having missed Real Sociedad’s last two games.

Scotland XI: Gunn; Porteous, Hendry, McKenna; Hickey, McTominay, McGregor, Robertson; Christie, McGinn; Dikes

Barcelona star Lamine Yamal has withdrawn from the Spain squad, while Villarreal’s Yeremy Pino has also withdrawn. This has resulted in Granada’s Bryan Zaragoza being called up to the senior squad for the first time, who could make his debut off the bench, while Luis de la Fuente is likely to remain in a relatively stable starting side.

Spain XI: Simon; Carvajal, Le Normand, Laporte, Balde; Merino, Rodri, Gavi; Torres, Morata, Oyarzabal

Hello and welcome The IndependentCoverage of Spain vs Scotland in Euro 2024 qualifying.

It could be a big night: Steve Clarke’s men have won five out of five so far in their season, including the impressive win over the Spanish at Hampden Park in March, and should they triumph again tonight the Scots will secure qualification secure Germany for the tournament next summer. They will also qualify if Norway do not win against Cyprus in Group A’s other game.

However, Spain is in top form. Coach Luis de la Fuente led the hosts to victory in the Nations League and is confident of a victory over the Scots this time. Spain have played a game less than Scotland and a win would move them within three points of the league leaders and stay on course to secure a place for themselves at Euro 2024.

The top two teams advance from Group A and La Roja will confirm their place in the tournament with wins over Scotland and Norway on Sunday.
