Callum McGregor anchors the Scotland midfield for tonight’s European Championship qualifier against Spain at Hampden.
The Celtic midfielder was voted Man of the Match in Saturday’s 3-0 win over Cyprus but faces a steep step up in class with tonight’s visitprs.
Steve Clarke makes three changes to the side that won on Saturday with two switches in midfield- Ryan Jack and Stuart Armstrong drop out with Scott McTominay and Ryan Christie included in the starting XI. Lyndon Dykes for the injured Che Adams is the enforced change.
McGregor has been in outstanding form for Celtic since returning from injury in December- marking his return with a dramatic winning goal away to Aberdeen.
Getting through tonight without any injury will be a priority for many Celtic fans ahead of a vital month starting on Sunday away to Ross County.
Scotland’s next match is away to Norway on Saturday June 17.

4-4-2 with Christie and Dykes up front! So Tierney will play in mid-field, not so sure about that, wasted talent for me but , hey, it’s Spain, it’s a
“Free-hit”.
I expect we’ll get walloped, but that’s what you’d expect anyway!
Given up on Scotland long time ago! Just not worth the bother.
Remember when The Republic of Ireland played under Jackie Charlton? Now that was International Football, Pure Class!
So why do I bother about Scotland? I don’t!
It’s a 3-5-2 with wingbacks and Christie playing a 10 behind Dykes
What’d you think of that then?
Game’s over, Scotland’s won!
(Don’t call us, We’ll call you)!
Shhhhh!!!
Hanley and Porteous are both centre-backs, they don’t play in mid-field. So it’s a 4-4-2 with Hickey and Robertson as full-backs, overlapping and Christie falling back into mid-field.
But what position Tierney playing? He’s a left-back but so is Robertson!
Robertson is the left full-back, so what position is Tierney playing?
He’s a full-back, that’s his position, so he is being played out of position. That therefore weakens the team!
Ye got that!?
