What channel is Cyprus v Scotland? Is it on TV? How to watch Euro 2024 qualifier

Scotland will hope to continue their perfect start to Euro 2024 qualifying and put themselves on the brink of qualification when they take on Cyprus in Larnaca on Friday.

Steve Clarke’s squad have won their four opening qualifying games for the first time in history to sit top of Group A on 12 points with nine goals scored and only one conceded – an Erling Haaland penalty in the 2-1 win over Norway in Oslo.

Cyprus, Spain and Georgia were all defeated at Hampden meaning just five more points from the remaining four qualifers, with the return match in Cyprus followed by a trip to Spain in October, then Georgia away and Norway at home in November, will guarantee Scotland’s progression to the finals in Germany.

A win over Cyprus may even be enough – providing Spain defeat Georgia on the same evening, then Norway and Georgia draw their match in Oslo next Tuesday. Should that scenario play out, the Tartan Army can start looking out their passports.
