Winners on their last visit to Hungary, the Spanish boss will be hoping his side can replicate their performance from the 2-0 win in October 2021 and bring a lead back to Scotland ahead of the second leg, which takes place at Easter Road on Tuesday night.

Should Scotland manage to navigate the two-legged two tie and get past Hungary, they'll then face either Montenegro or Finland in another two-legged tie for a place in next year's European Championship, which is set to take place in Switzerland next July.
