SCOTLAND take on Switzerland tonight at Euro 2024 and are in desperate need of a big win.
Andy Robertson’s side were thrashed 5-1 by Germany in their opener while the Swiss beat Hungary convincingly. The Tartan Army know anything but victory will leave them on the brink of elimination.
EURO 2024 FREE BETS AND OFFERS
Ryan Porteous is suspended for Scotland following his red card against Germany.
He’ll miss the rest of the group stage.
Either Grant Hanley or Scott McKenna are expected to step in for Porteous.
Billy Gilmour did not make Steve Clarke‘s starting XI last time out and could come in to give Scotland some control in the midfield.
Denis Zakaria has been nursing a thigh injury for the Swiss but trained on Sunday and could still play a role.
Steven Zuber is a doubt for Switzerland as he continues to train individually.
Silvan Widmer and Remo Freuler are one card away from suspension.
Manager Murat Yakin also picked up a yellow against Hungary and needs to avoid another to prevent being suspended.
After their disastrous opener, Steve Clarke said: “We believe in ourselves: there’s no danger of [us giving up]. We know it was a bad night [against Germany].
“We have to accept all the criticism that comes our way and then we have to put it right. To be in football, you have to be very resilient.”
Yakin meanwhile said: “It’s important that we won our first game but I wasn’t so happy with our second-half performance, so we have to play better [against Scotland].”
