What Scotland need to do to reach Euro 2024 as national heroes allow punters to scan the skies

What do Scotland need to do? It's a wee bit more than 'no hellish much' but the road to Germany is proving to be an autobahn in the stars with no traffic to slow us down.

Scotland know Erling Haaland and Co will need a comeback for the ages if they or, perhaps Georgia, are able to overhaul Steve Clarke's side.

The expansion of UEFA's marquee international tournament means two out of five sides from our section will head to Germany. So let's make it simple; Norway need to cut an eight-point deficit in five games and Scotland will be aiming to shut that door long before they meet on the final match night at Hampden on November 19 this year.
