Scotland vs Greece LIVE: Latest team news and line-ups from Nations League play-off – UK Times

Greece boss Ivan Jovanovic has made six changes to the side that lost 1-0 in the first leg.

At full-back, Lazaros Rota and Kostas Tsimikas are replaced by Georgios Vagiannidis and Dimitris Giannoulis, while in central midfield, Emmanouil Siopis and Petros Mantalos go out in favour of Christos Mouzakitis and Christos Zafeiris.

In attack, Giorgos Masouras drops out for Konstantinos Karetsas, while Vangelis Pavlidis leads the line as he starts over Fotis Ioannidis.

Greece XI: Tzolakis, Vagiannidis, Mavropanos, Koulierakis, Giannoulis; Mouzakitis, Zafeiris; Konstantelias, Karetsas, Tzolis; Pavlidis.

Subs: Vlachodimos, Mandas, Retsos, Masouras, Pelkas, Rota, Fountas, Ioannidis, Chatzidiakos, Mantalos, Tsimikas, Galanopalous.

Scotland boss Steve Clarke has made just one change to the side that beat Greece in the first leg on Thursday.

Ryan Christie comes in to replace Lewis Ferguson, with the Bournemouth man staying on the left wing.

Che Adams leads the line again, with Scott McTominay in the attacking midfield role.

Scotland XI: Gordon; Ralston, Souttar, Hanley Robertson; Gilmour, Christie; McGinn, McTominay, McLean; Adams.

Subs: Kelly, Slicker, Tierney, Conway, Hendry, Wilson, McKenna, Nisbit, Hirst, Ferguson, Miller, Johnston.

Steve Clarke is looking to accelerate the development of more young talent after handing teenage duo Lennon Miller and James Wilson their first call-ups for the March international break.

Motherwell midfielder Miller and Hearts striker Wilson, both 18, were included for this month’s Nations League play-off double-header against Greece.

Both started on the bench in the first leg but could be called into action at Hampden.

Tonight’s play-off will be shown on free-to-air, after the previous agreement with ViaPlay came to a premature end and left fans watching games on YouTube.

This will be the case with all Scotland matches leading up to the 2026 World Cup in the United States.

Ryan Christie returns from suspension and bolsters Scotland’s midfield options. Clarke started all of Billy Gilmour, Kenny McLean, Scott McTominay, John McGinn and Lewis Ferguson behind Che Adams in Athens, but Christie can offer a little more pace and could return.

Scotland’s back four worked well enough so Kieran Tierney may find himself on the back again, with Andy Robertson and Anthony Ralston the full-backs either side of Grant Hanley and John Souttar. Craig Gordon kept a clean sheet on his 80th international appearance.

The second leg of the Nations League play-off will be shown live on BBC One Scotland and BBC iPlayer, with coverage starting from 4pm GMT. Kick-off at Hampden is at 5:00pm on Sunday 23 March.

Welcome to The Independent’s live coverage of Scotland’s Nations League play-off against Greece!

Scotland take a 1-0 lead to Hampden as they look to maintain their top-flight status in the competition.

Scott McTominay’s first-half penalty proved the difference in Athens on Thursday, but will be wary after Greece dominated much of play in the first leg.
