We're approaching the half-way stage of this Nations League campaign and Scotland are pointless
After going down to Poland at Hampden and then Portugal in Lisbon in their opening two Nations League fixtures, Steve Clarke takes his side to Zagreb to face Croatia. As expected, the Scos have found it tough since making the step up to the top tier of UEFA 's newest competition. And that could affect our qualifying chances for the 2026 World Cup, with Nations League performances affecting the seeding for that qualifying draw.
Injuries have also compounded things. The likes of Kieran Tierney and Aaron Hickey have been longer term absentees. Now goalkeeper Angus Gunn and striker Lawrence Shankland have joined Scott McKenna on the treatment table, with Steve Clarke having to name five uncapped players to fill gaps in his squad for this month's double header. That could give the likes of Ben Doak the chance to shine, however, as the Tartan Army cling to hope that they'll have something positive to focus on.
There's also been quite the hullabaloo over broadcast companies apparent reluctance to buy the rights for this one. Record Sport has all the info you need on how to see the game. When is the game? Scotland take on Croatia on Saturday, October 12at Stadion Maksimir. Kick off is 5pm. Is the game on TV? For the first time this century, a competitive Scotland game won't be shown on traditional TV by a major broadcaster. Viaplay Sports have the rights, but a deal with either ITV or BBC to show the game collapsed, and with Viaplay no longer in the UK TV market, that means it won't be on the box.Where else can I follow the action?
