Latest Scotland vs Poland football commentary
Scotland failed to get out of the group stage at a recent major tournament, losing 0-5 to the hosts, drawing with Switzerland and losing to Hungary.
However, under manager Steve Clarke, Scotland have qualified for back-to-back European Championships and been promoted to League A of the Nations League. Having topped their group with wins over Ukraine and the Republic of Ireland, Scotland now face tougher opposition in the 2024-25 campaign, starting with a home game against Poland and a trip to Portugal.
To reach the quarter-finals of UEFA's expanded tournament, Scotland need to finish in the top two; third place leads to a relegation play-off, while bottom of the group means relegation to League B. Scotland's medium-term aim is to qualify for the 2026 World Cup, for the first time since 1998, but first they must maintain their form in League A.
Poland also struggled at Euro 2024, finishing fourth in their group after defeats to the Netherlands and Austria, and only managing a draw against France thanks to a Robert Lewandowski penalty. Under Michal Probierz, who took charge in September 2023, Poland won six of their ten games before the Euro exit. Despite Poland’s tendency to disappoint at major tournaments, Probierz was retained.
With several key Scotland players like Billy Gilmour and Scott McTominay injured or lacking fitness, the hosts could struggle. Meanwhile, Poland have a prolific goalscorer and could leave Glasgow with all three points.
