Scotland finish third in Nations League group after victory

Scotland have finished THIRD in their Nations League group.

Steve Clarke's side will feature in the relegation play-offs after their 2-1 win in Poland tonight.

Scotland had to beat the Poles in Warsaw this evening, meanwhile, holding out hope that already qualified Portugal could do them a favour against Croatia.

Unfortunately, despite recording back-to-back competitive victories for the first time in 2024, it was not enough to finish above Croatia in the A1 table, as they drew with the Portuguese 1-1 in Split.

While relegation to section B remains a possibility in the future play-off, Andy Robertson scored with a bullet header in stoppage time to secure a famous away win for the Tartan Army.

This will take place in 2025, and Scotland will play whoever they face (Greece, Austria, TBC, TBC) away from home first, with the second leg at Hampden.

It also means Scotland will be drawn from pot 2 when determining the World Cup qualification groups next month so long as either Estonia or Georgia to avoid defeat against Slovakia and the Czech Republic tomorrow night.

After Robertson's winner to add to John McGinn's tidy finish in the early part of the game, it means Poland have been relegated from League A to B.
