It won't be too long before the announcement of Scotland's Euro 2024 squad, as Steve Clarke and co. look forward to this summer's huge tournament.
Scotland made their long-awaited return to major tournament football at Euro 2020 and, after missing out on a place at the 2022 World Cup, made it two successive Euros appearances by finishing second in their qualifying group.
En route to clinching Euro 2024 qualification, Steve Clarke's Steve Clarke's side – packing Premier League talent like Liverpool's Andy Robertson and Manchester United's Scott McTominay – registered an historic 2-0 victory over Spain, as well as winning away to Norway and doing a 3-0 double over Cyprus.
March's international break, however, saw them thrashed by the Netherlands and suffer a disappointing home defeat to Northern Ireland, so there's work to be done if they're to put on a strong showing in Germany.
At the finals themselves, the Scots will be involved in the opening game of the tournament – against the hosts – with the Group A line-up completed by Hungary and Switzerland.
As with every team at the tournament, FourFourTwo will bring you all the latest on Scotland as we report live from the European Championship.

Appointed in 2019 after Scotland's hopes of qualifying automatically for Euro 2020 had been ended, Steve Clarke began to turn his country's fortunes around by guiding them to the finals via the Nations League qualification path.
Scotland finished bottom of a group also containing old rivals England at the tournament – where some games took place at their Hampden Park home – but their overall transformation under Clarke has been quite superb, bringing about a steady rise up the FIFA world rankings.
Scotland's star player
Andy Robertson

Liverpool's left-back Andy Robertson is his country's left wing-back and main man, captaining Scotland since 2018.
One of the best players on the planet in his position, Robertson's career has taken him on a remarkable journey from then amateur outfit Queen's Park to Anfield, via Dundee United and Hull City.
He's won it all at club level with the Reds; can he help Scotland make it out of the group stage at a major tournament for the very first time?
FAQs
How many players are Scotland allowed to take to Euro 2024?
UEFA confirmed in February that each competing nation will be able to name a final squad of 23 players in their Euro 2024 squads, including a mandatory three goalkeepers.
After a couple of tournaments featuring 26-player teams, UEFA have now reverted from the expanded squad.
National managers were allowed to bring 26 players to 2021's European Championship for the first time at a major tournament, as a special measure brought in due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Due to the fixture congestion, the expanded squads returned for the World Cup. Without those same issues, 23-player squads have made a return.
