Having struggled to break down Gibraltar in a largely forgettable 2-0 win on Monday, Scotland manager Steve Clarke wants his players to deliver a much-improved display at Hampden Park ahead of Euro 2024. He said: “We want a good performance at home in front of our supporters to give them that little boost before we go to the tournament.”
Clarke is likely to pick a strong side for the clash against Finland as his squad for the Euros has virtually been selected already due to Lyndon Dykes and Ben Doak withdrawing through injury. That means he will have just one player to cut before the flight to Munich.
With Kieran Tierney, Callum McGregor, Ché Adams, Scott McTominay and Angus Gunn all likely to return to the starting line-up, Scotland fans will hope to see a much-improved performance against a side that failed to qualify for the European Championships after being thrashed 4-1 by Wales in the play-off semi-finals.
Team news:
As expected a host of big names have returned to the Scotland line-up but there is one interesting call as Lawrence Shankland is given the nod up front, starting ahead of Ché Adams.
Scotland: Gunn, Ralston, Hendry, Hanley, Tierney, Robertson (c), McGregory, Gilmour, McGinn, Christie, Shankland.
Substitutes: Kelly, Clark, Gordon, McTominay, Adams, Porteous, Cooper, Taylor, Morgan, Conway, Jack, McCrorie, McLean, Forrest, McKenna.
Finland: Joronen, Niskanen, Hoskonen, Vaisanen, Ollila, Lod, Peltola, Maenpaa, Terho, Pohjanpalo, Pukki (c).
Substitutes: Hradecky, Sinisalo, Jensen, Ivanov, Tenho, Kallman, Antman, Soiri, Nissila, Galvez, Walta, Talvitie.
