Scotland’s 2024 Nations League campaign was a story of trauma and triumph and will end in the play-off game that ultimately decides how it is viewed in the years to come.
Starting the campaign with late defeats to Poland, Portugal and Croatia, Steve Clarke’s side looked all but set for relegation until a stirring 0-0 draw against Portugal in October gave them some hope of avoiding the drop.
However, morale-boosting wins over Croatia and Poland earlier in the week have handed the Tartan Army a huge shot in the arm, with Andy Robertson’s injury-time header in Warsaw relegating Poland and handing Scotland one last chance at avoiding the drop from League A with a Nations League relegation play-off to come against a League B runner-up.
