Scotland Aim for Best Ever Start to Euro 2024 Qualifying
Steve Clarke and his Scotland side are aiming to make history as they look to secure their fourth consecutive win in the Euro 2024 qualification campaign. With a win against Georgia on Tuesday, 20 June, Scotland can become the first team to ever win four in a row at the start of a qualification campaign.
Clarke’s side have been in impressive form so far, having won all three of their opening games, including a 2-1 away win against Norway on Saturday. Clarke believes that there is still more to come from his side and is hoping that they can keep up the momentum with a win against Georgia.
Georgia: A Tough Challenge
Clarke is well aware of the challenge that Georgia present, having only lost one game in their last 15 matches. He believes that Georgia are the toughest pot four team in the group and that they will be looking to continue their good form following their 2-1 away win against Cyprus on Saturday.
Clarke said: “It may be a slightly different game here but we’ll prepare for both, we’ll be ready for both types of game and hopefully we get the right result. They’re definitely a threat going forward so we’ll have to defend well.”
Team News
Clarke has confirmed that all of his players are “all present and correct, all good”. Defenders Nathan Patterson and John Souttar, who had been injury doubts, and versatile defensive option Ross McCrorie were not included in the 23-man match day squad in Oslo.
