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.
