Scott McTominay has been one of the most important players for Scotland lately. He is tied for second on the top goalscorers list of the tournament with six goals. The Scottish player has 14 shots, seven of which were on target, in five games in the 2024 Euro qualifications. Scott has scored twice from two shots on target in his last match with Man United, so he is in good spirits with some enticing odds.
Spain will miss some of their key players, like Pedri, Olmo, and Asensio, due to injuries with their clubs.
Scotland will have a healthy squad, as their only key injury is Tierney, and they have some good alternatives in that position, like Robertson and McKenna.
Scotland have been absolutely amazing so far in this qualifying tournament, and even if they lose, they can keep it a close game.
