Steve Clarke names Scotland starting XI to face Greece

Scotland boss Steve Clarke has named his starting lineup to face Greece this evening. 

The national team are in Piraeus ahead of the first leg of their UEFA Nations League A play-off clash. 

Clarke will be aiming to get 2025 off to the perfect start as the Scots looked to build on back-to-back victories at the tail-end of last year over Croatia and Poland.

Scotland's clash with Greece this evening will be the first of four between the nations over the coming months, with Ivan Jovanovic's side also in the same World Cup 2026 qualification group as Clarke's men. 

The 61-year-old handed surprise call-ups to talented teenage duo Lennon Miller and James Wilson this month. George Hirst is in the squad for the first time, with youngster Max Johnston also making the cut. 

Clarke makes two changes to the Scotland team that started the late win in Poland back in November.

With winger Ben Doak and striker Lyndon Dykes sidelined, Lewis Ferguson and Che Adams come in, while Arsenal's Kieran Tierney starts on the bench and midfielder Ryan Christie is suspended.

Confirmed Scotland starting XI: 

Gordon, Ralston, Souttar, Hanley, Robertson, Gilmour, McLean, McGinn, McTominay, Ferguson, Adams. 

Subs:

Kelly, Slicker, Tierney, Conway, Wilson, Hendry, Porteous, McKenna, Nisbet, Hirst, Miller, Johnston.​
