Scotland took a significant step toward preserving their League A status with a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Greece in the first leg of their Nations League play-off in Piraeus.
Steve Clarke's side now hold a narrow advantage heading into Sunday’s decisive showdown at Hampden Park, following a resilient display in Athens. A Scott McTominay penalty separated the teams at halftime, but Scotland spent much of the second period under pressure, showing grit and discipline to secure a crucial clean sheet.
With the home leg looming, Scotland will be favorites to retain their top-tier spot, and Clarke handed international debuts to two players in the first leg. Ryan Christie is available again after serving a suspension, though he may have to settle for a place on the bench. Clarke could opt to stick with the same starting lineup, meaning Lewis Ferguson may continue on the left in a 4-2-3-1 system.
Greece, despite the defeat, showed signs of danger, particularly through 17-year-old Konstantinos Karetsas, who impressed after coming off the bench. Ivan Jovanovic has no fresh injury concerns but will be forced into one alteration as Manolis Siopis serves a suspension, with Christos Zafeiris likely to step in. The hosts may also turn to Vangelis Pavlidis in attack, possibly replacing Fotis Ioannidis, while Karetsas is in contention for a starting role after his strong second-half showing.

Scotland team news
Ryan Christie missed the first-leg clash due to suspension but is set to return to the squad for Sunday's decisive meeting, though he may have to settle for a place among the substitutes.
After securing a 1-0 win in Greece, Steve Clarke could stick with the same starting lineup, keeping Scott McTominay in an advanced midfield role behind Che Adams, while Kenny McLean and Billy Gilmour continue to anchor the midfield.
Greece team news
For Greece, there are no fresh injury or suspension concerns, but head coach Ivan Jovanovic may look to tweak his lineup in search of a comeback. One potential switch could see Vangelis Pavlidis replace Fotis Ioannidis as the focal point of the attack, with Christos Tzolis and Giorgos Masouras expected to retain their places out wide.
