It's been a wretched run for Scotland but there would be nothing "horrible" about a win in Zagreb,

It's Croatia next up in our next top flight Nations League match and it's been as tough as expected since promotion. Poland and Portugal both took maximum points to leave Steve Clarke sitting on one win in his last 14 matches. However, he insists it won't be up to him decide it's time up should that run get any worse, which if we're being honest, is likely. He's determined to lead us to the 2026 World Cup in North America.

The squad withdrawals have been increasing over the last year, whereas before everyone seemed to be fit whenever another international break rolled around. Angus Gunn, Scott McKenna, James Forrest, John McGinn and Lawrence Shankland are the latest absentees, with Aarn Hickey, Nathan Patterson and Kieran Tierney all out longer term. Callum McGregor called it a day in dark blue shortly after the start of this season.

There's also been quite the hullabaloo over broadcast companies apparent reluctance to buy the rights for this one. Record Sport has all the info you need on how to see the game.

When is the game?

Scotland take on Croatia on Saturday, October 12at Stadion Maksimir. Kick off is 5pm.

Is the game on TV?

For the first time this century, a competitive Scotland game won't be shown on traditional TV by a major broadcaster. Viaplay Sports have the rights, but a deal with either ITV or BBC to show the game collapsed, and with Viaplay no longer in the UK TV market, that means it won't be on the box. Also, you won't be able to watch it at your local with pubs unable to show YouTube.

Will there be a live stream?

Yes. Viaplay will be showing the game on their YouTube channel.

Can I still watch the stream on my TV?

It's YouTube only, but yes. Those with a Chrome Cast can stream from their preferred device to their screen. And those with smart tvs or a firestick can watch via the YouTube app.
