Scotland vs Croatia – Predicted line-up and team news

Scotland host Croatia in the UEFA Nations League tonight as they look to put an end to their recent unsettled form.

The Tartan Army has made a good impression in the Nations League without achieving the required results, with only one point from four matches. That has extended their run to just one win in 16 caps and Steve Clarke’s side must mount a response against Croatia to avoid possible relegation from the top flight.

Scotland’s FIFA rankings are also at stake, a scenario that could influence the difficulty of the draw for 2026 World Cup qualifying.

Scotland team news

Scotland lost in Croatia last month with a depleted side, but came into this match in stronger form.

John McGinn returns in a big boost for Steve Clarke, although Che Adams is out after missing the Turin derby for Torino this weekend. Lyndon Dykes is the frontrunner to replace Adams, although Tommy Conway and Lawrence Shankland offer alternatives.

Scott McTominay scored against Inter Milan this weekend to continue his excellent start to life at Napoli and the midfielder is likely to be joined by McGinn and clubmate Billy Gilmour in the engine room.

Ben Doak impressed in his first start in Croatia in October and is ready for a new opportunity. The 19-year-old has scored four goals in eight starts on loan at Middlesbrough this season.
