It’s advantage Scotland in the Nations League playoff with Greece after a resolute display from Steve Clarke’s men saw them run out narrow 1-0 winners at the Karaiskakis Stadium in Piraeus. Settled by a controversial 33rd minute penalty from Scott McTominay, Scotland were to fight for the win after being camped into their own half for the majority of the second period, though Craig Gordon’s goal was not breached as the Tartan Army celebrated another memorable victory in the competition. With Ben Doak and Lyndon Dykes both injured, head coach Clarke opted to make two changes from the 2-1 win over Poland in November, with Che Adams and Lewis Ferguson returning to the starting XI, the latter playing for Scotland for the first time in over a year due to injury. Largely the better side in the first 45, heavy Greek pressure in the second-half saw Christos Tzolis going ccannoned an attempt off the post, before they awarded a penalty with 85 minutes on the clock, only for the referee to alter his decision after VAR ruled Grant Hanley’s foul was outside the area. The sides will meet against at Hampden Park on Sunday, with kick off scheduled for 5pm.
