International football takes centre stage this weekend as Scotland begin their Euro 2024 qualifying quest.
Steve Clarke and his troops already have a play-off spot in the bag following their Nations League success with the Dark Blues earning promotion to Group A in the tournament next time around. That back door route became vital last time around as the national team dumped Serbia to earn a spot at the last Euro finals to end a long absence from a major international competition.
But Scotland will be hoping they don't need to use that added incentive this time as they bid to get over the line in the traditional league format with Cyprus first up as part of a double-header in this break. A blockbuster occasion with Spain arrives under the lights next week but all focus will be on this first outing and getting three points in the bag to get things up and running. Here's everything you need to know ahead of the showdown.
