Scotland and Croatia both need a result tonight in Glasgow to likely keep their Euro 2020 hopes alive.
Both nations have collected just one point from their opening two games in Group, with 2018 World Cup finalists Croatia in disappointing form in particular - and a draw here would likely see each side exit the tournament.
After losing 1-0 to England and drawing 1-1 with the Czech Republic, Zlatko Dalic’s men must beat Scotland to reach the last-16 - and they could still finish second in the group if they win at Hampden Park and England beat the Czechs.
As for Scotland, an impressive 1-1 draw against England leaves them in with a chance of the knockouts, but they must also win to at least finish third - but could also finish second if England lose and they better the Three Lions' goal difference. Billy Gilmour’s Covid test result is a huge blow.

Croatia v Scotland prediction
Scotland showed real fight against England, with only a lack of quality in front of goal costing them a memorable win at Wembley.
For all their desire in London, the Scots are yet to score a goal in the group - and Croatia have real quality up top which should prove enough to qualify.
