Scotland take a 1-0 lead back to Hampden as they look to avoid Nations League relegation in their play-off against Greece.

Scott McTominay’s first-half penalty and a remarkable second-half defensive stand earned Scotland a valuable away win in Athens on Thursday.

Steve Clarke’s side know that Greece dominated long spells of the first leg but will maintain their top-flight status if they avoid defeat at home.

And the play-off will be shown on free-to-air, as will all matches until the 2026 World Cup, after the previous agreement with ViaPlay came to a premature end and left fans watching games on YouTube.

Here’s everything you need to know

How can I watch Scotland vs Greece?

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.

What is the Scotland team news?

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.

Confirmed Scotland line-up

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