Ryan Christie believes Scotland will “have to be at our very best across the full park” against Portugal on Sunday evening.
The Scots play their second Nations League A Group 1 fixture in Lisbon, having lost 3-2 at home to Poland on Thursday. The Portuguese defeated Croatia in their opening game.
“We’ll probably have to be at our very best across the full park, all 11 players, we obviously know it’s going to take 90 minutes of pure concentration across the pitch,” said midfielder Christie, 29.
“We know how good a team they are, especially offensively, so we have to be at our best. Hopefully, we can cause any problems going the other way.
“Winning the last tournament shows how good we can be on our night. So we need to take that confidence in.”
