Those days are past now. England went on to make the final of Euro 2024, Spain won the whole thing, and Hungary sent Steve Clarke’s men homeward tae think again. No point poking at old wounds, other than to wonder if Scotland can rise now and be … OK, let’s stop that. But the team really does need to get back on the horse after the hopes of 2022 and 2023 were so systematically crushed in Germany, having lost seven and drawn four of their last 12 matches, their only win coming against Gibraltar, and a throughly underwhelming 2-0 at that. Possible debuts for Ryan Gauld and Ben Doak could get Hampden roaring again. Poland, who also endured a miserable Euros but can still boast Robert Lewandowski, and have never lost a competitive fixture against the Scots, stand in their way. Kick-off is at 7.45pm BST. It’s on!

Main Events

20 minutes: Scotland continue to pound Poland and Szymanski continues to get hammered by Robertson, though in fairness it's more out of enthusiasm than aggression.

Share

18 minutes: McTominay expressed some frustration, saying: Make a clattering noise The ball hit Szymanski on the back, we've seen lighter warnings but the referee didn't even think about blowing the whistle for a free kick for some time, and McTominay will be happy with the final compromise as he goes off unpunished.

Share

16th minute: Christie makes some noise down the left and passes to Robertson who hooks the ball into the mixer. Dykes competes for a header but is over-eager and the whistle blows. It's a sufficient response to falling behind, even if Burka hasn't yet had a shot on target.

Share

15 minutes: Robertson rolls a free kick in front of goal and the Polish defense blocks McTominay as he prepares to shoot. No good. “Great shot from Stevie Clarke, with a big bag behind him that just says 'Drugs',” reports James Humphreys. “He's clearly as unsure of himself as I am.”

Share

14 min: McTominay, as always, is causing trouble down the right wing, rolling just outside the penalty area for a free-kick in a dangerous position with Robertson watching.

Share

12 minutes: Scotland try and hit back quickly. Robertson sends an up-and-under pass into the box from the left. Burka catches it but it falls under pressure from Dykes. Dykes, lying prone, spins the ball towards goal and tries to hook it. He can't get a hold of it and the keeper catches it on the second attempt.

10 minutes: Szymanski's shot hit the inside of the goalpost, but Gunn could have done better – the goalkeeper got to it a little too late – and, to provide balance, ITV co-commentator Neil McCann called the shot “unstoppable”.

Goals! Scotland 0-1 Poland (Szymanski 8)

…And then they got their second goal and took the lead. McLean made a strong pass to Gilmour in midfield. Urbanski stole the ball and passed it to Szymanski, who strode down the middle and curled a diving shot from 25 yards into the bottom right corner.

7 min: Poland struck for the first time, Zalewski making a good move down the left wing before gliding across the field and firing towards the bottom left. It was an easy win for Gunn, but after a strong start from Scotland it was Poland who took the angry lead.

Share

6 min: McClean makes a couple of tackles in the middle of the pitch. Twice he wins the ball back for Poland, and twice his team-mates fail to get it back. He gestures with a bit of frustration, but it's a sign of McClean's tenacity. Onwards and up.

Share

4 minutes: That was some crisp movement down the left wing. Scotland started confidently, denying Poland time on the ball and passing the ball around cleverly. I'd like to see more of that.

Share

2 min: Dykes fed McTominay down the left wing, who ran into space and tried to return the ball with a low cross, but Dykes couldn't keep up and Poland's new keeper, Burka, smashed the ball wide from inside his own six-yard box.

The team is out! As the players emerge from the tunnel, a packed Hampden crowd isn't cheering (at least not yet), but the applause is warm and sustained. Scotland's blue and yellow flag is raised, Poland's second-choice red flag. There's a handshake, a coin toss, a pennant exchange, patriotic folk music, and then, a few minutes later, they're off.

Scotland captain Andy Robertson will make his 75th appearance in the navy blue shirt tonight. He will be just the seventh player to achieve this feat. Where does he rank in the Hall of Fame right now? John McGinn isn't far behind him.

  1. Kenny Dalglish (102 caps, 30 goals)

  2. Jim Leighton (91 caps)

  3. Darren Fletcher (80 caps, 5 goals)

  4. Alex McLeish (77 caps)

  5. Paul McStay (76 caps, 9 goals)

  6. Craig Gordon (75 caps)

  7. Andrew Robertson (74 caps, 3 goals)

  8. Tom Boyd (72 caps, 1 goal)

  9. John McGinn (69 caps, 18 goals), Kenny Miller (69 caps, 18 goals), David Weir (69 caps, 1 goal)

With former Arsenal and Brentford player Wojciech Szczesny retiring, Nice's Marcin Bulka is set to take over the Polish goalkeeper's position. Michal Probieš has Premier League stars Jakub Kivior of Arsenal and Jan Bednarek of Southampton in his starting XI, with Brighton's Jakub Moder on the bench, and the in-form 36-year-old Robert Lewandowski will start, searching for his 84th goal in his 153rd international appearance.

Never change, Steve Clarke. And he won't. Really. There are no debutants in Scotland's starting XI tonight, with only three changes from the one that lost 2-1 to Hungary at Euro 2024. Callum McGregor is retired and Che Adams and Jack Hendry are injured, so they are replaced by Lyndon Dykes, Ryan Christie and Kenny McLean. There are five players on the bench hoping to make their debut: Josh Doig, Max Johnston, Conor Barron, Ben Doak and (this makes me feel old) Ryan Gaul, the former Scotland wonderkid who was rumoured to be a potential replacement for Lionel Messi. 28Hey, he's been waiting for over a decade, so 60 minutes or so until he finally gets to play is no big deal, right?

preamble

Ah, the shifting shapes, fixtures and fates. Scotland have been promoted to League A and will compete in the top-tier Nations League for the first time after strong performances in 2022 and 2023, which included impressive wins over Ukraine, Norway and Spain, while arch rivals England have suffered four straight home defeats to Hungary on their way to relegation to League B.

Those days are long gone. England reached the Euro 2024 final, Spain won, and Hungary sent Steve Clarke's team home for another round of reflection. There's no point in digging into old wounds, but Scotland are rising now… Okay, let's not do that. But the team really needs to bounce back after their 2022 and 2023 hopes were systematically dashed in Germany. They've lost seven of their last 12 games, drawing four and their only win was against Gibraltar, a completely disappointing 2-0. Debuts for Ryan Gauld and Ben Doak could bring momentum back to Hampden. They'll be faced with a Poland side that also endured a miserable Euros, but with Robert Lewandowski and never losing an official match against Scotland. Kick-off is at 7.45pm BST. It has begun!
