Is Scotland vs Spain on TV? how to watch UEFA Euros qualifiers - date, kick-off time and live stream details

Scotland are set to host Spain for their second UEFA Euros qualifying fixture this week after beating Cyprus 3-0 on Saturday. John McGinn opened up the scoring for the Tartan Army before Scott McTominay netted two after coming off the bench to seal the deal.

McGinn is now just the fifth player in history to score 20 times for Scotland and his manager, Steve Clarke, is sure he is set to join an even more exclusive club as he rises up through his country’s all-time scoring list. McGinn is currently seventh and Clarke has said: “It’s realistic to think about catching the next one. Kenny Miller is the next one he catches and I was saying to Ally McCoist: ‘He’s coming for you too!’”

Clarke and his squad will now prepare to face Spain who enjoyed a comfortable 3-0 win over Norway. However, the La Roja’s new manager has admitted that they cannot afford to relax when they travel to Glasgow for tomorrow’s fixture.

Luis de la Fuente has said ahead of the meet: “The match against Scotland demands other things. They are very intense. If I have to make changes, we will. What there is, is a fantastic team that offers many alternatives. In four days, I have seen things. They can give much more and we will continue to grow in all aspects.”

Team News

Scotland fans soon found reason for concern following the win over Cyprus after Che Adams limped off injured just before the hour mark and the Southampton striker has now pulled out of the upcoming match along with right-back Anthony Ralston. Lawrence Shankland is now in line to replace the former.

Spain came through their win over Norway relatively unscathed. Joselu’s quickfire double could well be enough to displace the newly-appointed captain Alvaro Morata while both Iago Aspas and Gavi were taken off before the hour last time, with the former at risk of losing his place to Fabian Ruiz.
