Scotland vs North Macedonia confirmed lineups: Andy Robertson makes record-equalling start

Scotland will look to keep their UEFA Nations League ambitions alive when they play host to North Macedonia.

Despite just one win from their opening four games in the competition Sebastien Pocognoli's side can still qualify for the Nations League promotion play-offs provided other results go their way.

While Slovenia sit three points ahead in second place, the hosts will enter Friday's clash with cause for confidence.

North Macedonia sit rock bottom of Group E and are yet to even score a goal, and Scotland ran out comfortable winners when the two teams met in Skopje last month.

Pocognoli's squad has been bolstered by the returns of Scott McTominay and Che Adams who both start tonight, but the headline inclusion is Tottenham full-back Andy Robertson.

The 32-year-old has been named in the starting XI and will equal the great Sir Kenny Dalglish's record of 102 caps when he leads the team out at Hampden Park.

A number of changes have been made from the XI that were beaten 2-1 by Slovenia at Hampden last month.

Ryan Porteous, Luke Graham, and Kieran Tierney have been brought in to replace Stephen Welsh, Jack Hendry and Luis Binks.

Meanwhile, Ryan Christie and Oli McBurnie have made way for the returning McTominay and Adams in the starting lineup.

Confirmed Scotland starting XI

Gunn, Robertson, Porteous, Graham, Tierney, Gannon-Doak, McGinn, Gilmour, Ferguson, McTominay, Adams

Confirmed North Macedonia starting XI

Dimitrievski, Alioski, Musliu, Mladenovski, Ilievski, Elmas, Gashtarov, Bardhi, Doriev, Rastoder, Churlinov
