Spain vs Scotland preview
Scotland know avoiding defeat on Thursday will see them book their spot at next summer’s European Championships.
Standing in their way? A top Spain side still reeling from their loss at Hampden earlier in the year.
So a tough task lies ahead for Steve Clarke’s men, who could also book their spot if Norway fail to win in Cyprus on the same night.
A Scott McTominay double (yes, it’s his speciality) won the reverse fixture in Glasgow, with Rodri describing Scotland’s performance as RUBBISH.
Spain still have eyes on winning the group and know a win by a couple of goals at least gives them their best chance of doing so.
While Scotland are just short of 3/1 to draw or win in the double chance market – so the bookmakers reckon their qualification chances lie with the Norway result at the same time.

Spain vs Scotland betting tips
First half score 0-0 at 2/1 – CLAIM HERE
Scotland know a point will do – and Clarke will set up accordingly.
Their supporters want them to come out and play but the recent dominant display by England at Hampden will still be on Clarke’s mind.
He’ll be happy keeping the Spanish out and his set up could prove strong enough to do so in the opening 45.
Alvaro Morata to score 1st 11/4 – CLAIM HERE
He’s Spain’s main man up top and will be their leading hope to score here.
Felt hard done by in the reverse fixture when felt he should’ve had a penalty.
Flying with Atletico Madrid – four in his last four – and can carry that form into here.
Scott McTominay to score or be carded at 13/8 – CLAIM HERE
Has turned into a goalscoring machine when putting on the dark blue.
And comes here off the back of another brace – this time in Manchester United’s late comeback on Saturday.
Added the insurance of a card to this and 13/8 could look a big price come Thursday night.
