Scotland draw Spain as Steve Clarke's men learn full Euro 2024 qualifying fate

Scotland will face Spain as they discovered their route to reach the Euro 2024 finals in Germany.

Steve Clarke's men were seeded second for the draw and after landing Luis Enrique's men out of Pot 1, they have now discovered the rest of their group stage fate with games to come against Norway, Georgia and Cyprus.

The qualifying route takes place over five different international windows beginning in March next year with the final games played in November 2023. Should Scotland require their Nations League play-off spot that will take place in March 2024. The top two teams in each section directly reach the finals with the national team holding a play-off spot already should they fail to automatically qualify. That promotion and top place finish has ensured the Scots of a back up route should it be required.

Speaking previously after securing the play-off spot, Clarke said: “I don’t think, with this group of players, that we will need it.

“That’s my honest opinion. It’s nice to have the safety net of the playoffs but I feel we can qualify outright. I would expect this team to qualify directly.

“I haven’t looked at who is there yet or who we can get. I want to enjoy this week. I want the Scottish public to enjoy this week. I want the players to go away feeling absolutely brilliant about themselves. But let’s not just think that’s enough. Let’s push for more. That’s the message I want to get across. Yes, it’s fantastic, but let’s see if we can get even better.”
