Scotland will avoid the likes of England AND France when they discover their Euro 2024 qualifying fate after landing a spot in Pot 2.
Steve Clarke's men confirmed their place as a second seed following their Nations League League B triumph, with the Dark Blues set to be the only home nation competing in the top tier of the competition when it comes back around. A share of the spoils with Ukraine coupled up with a Hampden win over the same opposition and the Republic of Ireland ended off the perfect week for the Scots.
That draw in Poland and top spot also secures a guaranteed Euro 2024 play-off spot. The draw for qualifying takes place on October 9 and despite a Pot 2 placing, some tricky ties could still await Scotland - but the Tartan Army will be delighted to AVOID Israel, who are placed in the same draw section.
