Scotland will hope to finally claim a victory in the 2024/25 Nations League on Friday when they face Croatia at Hampden.
So far, Steve Clarke's men have been disappointing in the competition, though they did earn a point against Portugal in the last game in October.

Scotland- Player To Watch
Scott McTominay has taken to Italian football like a duck to water following his move from Man Utd to Napoli. He is arguably Scotland's most important player at the moment.
Croatia - Player To Watch
Veteran star Luka Modric may be getting on in years, but he remains Croatia's main man.
Scotland vs Croatia - Prediction
Scotland's poor run of form hasn't told the full story as they were actually unlucky to lose all three of their opening three games, including the away loss versus Croatia. They'll hope to finally claim that first win here.
