Scotland vs North Macedonia Match Preview
Scotland host North Macedonia at Hampden Park in Glasgow in a UEFA Nations League B Group 1 fixture with real consequences for both sides in the standings.
Steve Clarke's side sit third in the group after a difficult run that has included a 3-0 defeat to Switzerland and a 1-2 loss to Slovenia. Their only bright spot in recent Nations League action was a 2-0 win over these same opponents in the reverse fixture last month.
The headline story for Scotland is the return of Scott McTominay. The Napoli midfielder missed the first four Nations League games after undergoing corrective heart surgery following a medical emergency at the World Cup, where he required cardioversion just two days before Scotland's opening game against Haiti. He is now back in full fitness and available for selection, giving manager Sebastien Pocognoli a significant boost in the engine room.
There is also a historic subplot to Friday's match at Hampden. Andy Robertson will win his 102nd cap, drawing level with Kenny Dalglish's long-standing Scotland appearance record. Robertson has been clear that matching the number does not make them equals, describing Dalglish as the greatest Scotland has ever produced.
North Macedonia arrive in Glasgow in desperate form. Goce Sedloski's side have lost all five of their most recent matches across all competitions, conceding heavily throughout and managing just one goal across that run. Their most recent outing ended in a 3-0 defeat to Switzerland.
With McTominay back, Robertson chasing history, and the hosts needing points to climb the group, Scotland will be expected to take care of business at Hampden. For everything you need to know about how to watch the match live, read on below.
