Victories for Austria, Belgium and Denmark have ensured that Steve Clarkes men will become the first Scotland side to reach the knock-out phase of a major tournament if they claim three points in their final Group D fixture. A victory could yet see Scotland finish second in the group on goal difference  so long as England v Czech Republic does not finish in a draw  but a win of any kind will be enough to guarantee qualification as a best-placed third place side. A win would take Scotland onto four points, one more than Ukraine, who finished third in Group C on three points after their 1-0 defeat to Austria. Group Bs third placed team, Finland, are also on three points after their 2-0 defeat to Belgium, which means Scotland will progress as one of four best third placed sides if they overcome Zlatko Dalis World Cup finalists of three years ago  a task which is easier said than done, particularly as the Croatians can also qualification with a win. Scotlands preparations for the match, which kicks off at 8pm, have been rocked by the news that Billy Gilmour - man of the match in the 0-0 draw with England at Wembley  has been ruled out after being forced into isolation following a positive test for Covid-19.

There is also a chance Scotland face Netherlands on Sunday 27 June in Budapest if games in Group E and F go a certain way. The most likely scenario is Scotland play Sweden/Slovakia/Spain in Glasgow on Tuesday, June 29, 8pm. The reason one of these three teams is the most likely scenario is because the teams who have finished third in Groups B and C  Finland and Ukraine  are the two who are most likely to miss out having finished on three points and with a minus goal difference, unless one of the outcomes in option 2 come to fruition.
