Scotland Faces Croatia in Nations League Match

Scotland's national football team is seeking their first competitive win in over a year as they prepare to face Croatia in the Nations League, following two opening defeats to Poland and Portugal. Head coach Steve Clarke is grappling with a significant injury crisis, having lost key players such as John McGinn, Kieran Tierney, and Angus Gunn, leading to the inclusion of several uncapped players in the squad. The match, which will not be broadcast on TV, has seen Scotland's lineup shift considerably, with 41-year-old Craig Gordon expected to take the goalkeeper position. Clarke emphasized the importance of players seizing the opportunity amidst the injuries, as the team looks to regain momentum in their campaign. Furthermore, the match is part of a double-header that includes a subsequent home game against Portugal next week. With the pressure on, Scotland aims to turn their fortunes around in Zagreb against Luka Modric and the Croatian side.
