Scotland will be aiming to maintain their perfect record in the Euro 2024 Qualifiers when they face Cyprus on Friday.
Having failed to make it to the 2022 World Cup finals, Steve Clarke's men are currently atop Group A of the European Championship qualifiers with 12 points off their wins over Cyprus, Spain, Norway and Georgia.
On the other hand, other than the Nations League, Cyprus are far from booking their first-ever appearance at a major tournament. Temur Ketsbaia's side will be looking to register their first win in the ongoing qualifiers, with their last outing ending with a 3-1 loss to Norway.
