Croatia v Scotland: Confirmed line-ups as Dykes starts ahead of Adams

Scotland visit Croatia tonight in their latest Nations League A encounter.

Steve Clarke’s men have found it tough going among the elite counties in Europe and have yet to pick up a point from a home game with Poland an away clash in Portugal.

Indeed, Scotland come into this game with just one win – against Gibraltar – in their last 14 games.
