Scotland v North Macedonia: Confirmed line-ups as Pognocoli’s men aim to keep promotion hopes alive

Scotland host North Macedonia as they bid to keep their UEFA Nations League promotion hopes alive.

Sebastien Pognocoli’s men face an uphill battle to secure second in Group 1 of League B and a promotion play-off, a home defeat to Slovenia having ended their hopes of automatic promotion to League A.

Scotland are three points behind Slovenia and, with head-to-head record the tiebreaker. As such, they need to hope Slovenia fail to win their final two matches against Switzerland and North Macedonia, with Scotland certain to require at least four points to clinch a play-off.

They should at least be confident of victory against North Macedonia, which would end any chance of relegation to League C.
