Scotland vs Spain lineups: Starting XIs, injury latest, confirmed team news for Euro 2024 qualifier today

Scotland give a start to Scott McTominay for tonight’s Euro 2024 qualifying showdown with Spain.

The Scots won their opening game on the road to Germany against Cyprus on Saturday courtesy of a late brace from the Manchester United midfielder, following John McGinn’s opener.

Manager Steve Clarke highlighted his side’s incomplete pressing game as the only downside of that 3-0 win and it’s therefore unsurprising that McTominay enters the starting XI this evening.

Che Adams misses the game after picking up a calf injury against Cyprus. Lawrence Shankland has replaced the Southampton striker in the squad but Lyndon Dykes gets the nod up.

Celtic right-back Anthony Ralston has also withdrawn due to a knock. As for Spain, Joselu made his case to start at Hampden by, much like McTominay, coming off the bench to score twice in his side’s 3-0 win on Saturday.

The veteran forward - Spain’s oldest debutant since 2006 - gets his chance from the off, with captain Alvaro Morata dropping to the bench.

First-choice goalkeeper Unai Simon is absent through injury, along with Barcelona playmaker Pedri as well as forwards Gerard Moreno and Bryan Gil.

Scotland XI: Gunn, Porteous, Hanley, Tierney, Hickey, McGregor, McTominay, McGinn, Robertson, Christie, Dykes.

Subs: Kelly, Clark, Patterson, Shankland, Hyam, Gilmour, Cooper, Armstrong, Ferguson, Brown, McLean, Jack.

Spain XI: Kepa, Porro, Garcia, Martinez, Gaya, Rodri, Merino, Ceballos, Oyarzabal, Joselu, Pino.
