Scotland vs Greece: Who is the referee for second leg of Nations League Group A1 play-off?

Steve Clarke’s men return to Glasgow with a 1-0 advantage that was hard-won during the fixture’s first leg in Greece. Scott McTominay’s first-half penalty kicked gave the Scots their lead in Piraeus, but the team had to dig deep after an onslaught of Greek attack in the second half.

The tense match was a busy affair for the German referee and VAR teams. VAR cleared McTominay’s penalty, but a late challenge from Grant Hanley on Taxiarchis Fountas that was initially given as a penalty by referee Tobias Stieler was overturned by the VAR after it was deemed to have been committed just outside the box.
