It's all about the Euros for Scotland now as Steve Clarke's team get ready for their first crack at the whip in March.
The September internationals saw the Scots dispel some demons from the summer and seven points from three games against Ukraine and Ireland fired us into League A of the Nations League. That gives us the guaranteed fall-back of a Euro 2024 playoff should we need it, but perhaps even more significantly, it sends us into pot two - increasing our chances of a favourable draw in the qualifying stage itself.
It means we're guaranteed to avoid the likes of England and France while hosts Germany have a bye straight through to the group stage. Whoever we get, it won't be easy and there will be ups and downs along the way - but with the top two in any group going straight through without the need for a playoff, we've given ourselves our best chance in years at automatic qualification.
