Spain vs Scotland LIVE! Euro 2024 qualifier match stream, latest team news, lineups, TV, prediction today
Scotland will book their place at Euro 2024 if can they avoid defeat tonight against Spain in Seville. It has been a sensational qualifying campaign so far from Steve Clarke’s side, who sit comfortably top of Group A and are on the verge of securing their spot at next summer’s tournament.
The flights can also be booked if Norway fail to beat Cyprus tonight, regardless of the outcome in Spain. Having picked up a memorable 2-0 win over the Spanish on home soil earlier this year though, Scotland will be confident of completing the job themselves without any external assistance.
Clarke is without Kieran Tierney and Ryan Jack, but Scott McTominay is available and will be on a high after his late brace gave Manchester United a dramatic win before the international break. Remarkably, only Romelu Lukaku has scored more goals that McTominay in the Euro 2024 qualifying campaign so far. Follow all the action with Standard Sport’s LIVE blog below!

A point will do it!
Just a draw needed for Scotland and their place at Euro 2024 will be confirmed!
Been such an impressive campaign so far – a perfect one in fact. Five matches, five wins, 15 points.
The top two in Pool A will automatically qualify for next summer’s tournament, so the job is pretty much done for Steve Clarke’s side.
Need to make it official though…
Inside the home dressing room…
History night for Scotland
It was a memorable night at Hampden when these sides met earlier this year.
Scotland picked up their first competitive win over Spain for 39 years to put themselves in pole position to qualifying group. Scott McTominay, of course, was the man to score both goals.
McTominay to shine again?
Scott McTominay’s match-winning brace for Manchester United against Brentford before the international break will come as no surprise to Scotland fans.
The midfielder has been in superb goalscoring form for his country, with six goals to his name in five Euro 2024 qualifiers.
Romelu Lukaku with eight is the only player to have bettered that across the entire continent. Not bad.
Glorious evening in Seville!
Standard Sport prediction
The Scots may have been humbled by England last time out but have a different energy about them in the qualifiers.
Well-organised against a team who sometimes struggle for end product, a draw seems a realistic possibility.
A 1-1 draw.
Scotland team news
Scotland, meanwhile, are without Kieran Tierney and Ryan Jack has also been forced to pull out of the squad. Kevin Nisbet has joined him in leaving the camp.
Che Adams and Lyndon Dykes are competing for the lead role in the visitors’ frontline, with support in midfield coming from John McGinn and Scott McTominay – the latter fresh off his late heroics for Manchester United against Brentford last weekend.
Spain team news
Barcelona’s teenage superstar Lamine Yamal has been forced to pull out of the Spain squad, leading to Brighton loanee Ansu Fati – every bit his predecessor – being called up as a replacement.
Granada youngster Bryan Zaragoza has also come in for injured winger Yeremy Pino. Dani Olmo and Marco Asensio are two key names also unavailable.
Alvaro Morata is expected to spearhead the hosts’ attack, flanked by Nico Williams and Ferran Torres in a Spain side a bit short on star power compared to previous years.
