Scotland starting team news vs Georgia as Steve Clarke's men aim to go four wins in a row

Steve Clarke has named his Scotland team to face Georgia in the Euro 2024 qualifiers.

It was quite the outing on Saturday when the Tartan Army took to Norway in a bid to maintain their winning start - but it didn't look to be on when Erling Haaland tucked home a penalty just after the hour mark to send the home crowd wild.

But this Scotland team at the moment just do not know when they are beaten. Lyndon Dykes stabbed home from a mix-up at the back, and when his layoff found Kenny McLean, you just knew that the ball would end up in the net before he even wrapped it home beautifully. Georgia will be a tough test with the likes of Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Georges Mikautadze set to take to Hampden Park - but Steve Clarke knows that anyway.

He said: "Georgia doesn’t give me the collywobbles. At that particular time I was a little bit distant from the national team, because I was down south working with clubs.

"We have to concentrate on ourselves. That’s the only way I can put it. What happened in the past happened in the past. We have to make sure that the future is better than the past.

"I just want to get the right amount of points to make sure we go to Germany. They come when they come. If it takes until the last game and we still qualify then that’s what we have to do. That doesn’t bother me. I just want to make sure that this group of lads go to another major tournament.”

SCOTLAND XI: Gunn, Hickey, Hendry, Porteous, Tierney, Robertson, McTominay, McGregor, Gilmour, McGinn, Dykes

Subs: Kelly, Clark, Hyam, Shankland, Christie, Cooper, Armstrong, Ferguson, Nisbet, Jack, Taylor, McLean
