When Scotland can qualify for Euro 2024 with Tartan Army closing in on place

The Tartan Army have enjoyed a historic start to their qualification campaign, winning all five games to sit top of Group A.

Steve Clarke's men have already enjoyed famous victories over Spain and Norway and sit six points clear in their table.

Scotland swept aside minnows Cyprus 3-0 last month, having started their qualification group with a 3-0 win in March's reverse fixture.

When can Scotland qualify for Euro 2024?

Scotland need just two more points from their remaining three qualifiers to cement their place in next year's finals in Germany.

However, they can qualify as long as Norway fail to beat Cyrpus.

Scotland are on 15 points which guarantees that they finish in one of the two qualification spots should the Norwegians drop points.

Such a scenario would leave Norway on eight points, with just two games remaining.

But should they beat Spain, their place in the Euros would be confirmed.

But Clarke is expecting a very different side to the one they beat 2-0 earlier this year.

He said: "Looking back on it now, you don't think it at the time, they were obviously a team in transition.

"They had a disappointing World Cup. Luis de la Fuente had just taken over. He wanted to look at certain things within the two games at the start of the camp.

"They were maybe thinking about the Nations League final in the summer, which they won. So maybe it was a good time to get them.

"But we have now put ourselves in a really good position with 15 points. We go there and if we get a positive result we can qualify. It would be nice to qualify really early for a tournament instead of doing it the Scottish way.

"When we played Spain here in March we pretty much did everything right. We followed the, I don't use the word game plan because I hate it, tactics we had and on the night they worked well for us. Spain has obviously come alive in the group in the last two games, with 13 goals, and six points.

"They will want to finish top, they will probably want to get a little bit back on us for the result in March. We have to be ready for that, we have to be ready to play 100 per cent, to play as well as we can play. I think if we can do that then we can get something from the game."
