Scotland and Greece announce their starting lineups for the second leg of their UEFA Nations League playoff tie at Hampden Park.

Scotland and Greece have announced their starting lineups for the second leg of their UEFA Nations League playoff.

The Tartan Army welcome Greece to Hampden Park holding a 1-0 advantage after Scott McTominay's penalty proved decisive in the first leg of the tie that will determine who will feature in League A during the next campaign.

Steve Clarke has opted to make just the one change to his first XI, choosing to bring Ryan Christie into the team as a replacement for Lewis Ferguson.

Christie is expected to take his place on the left flank as a straight alternative, rather than Clarke tinker with his setup.

Kieran Tierney again misses out on a starting spot, with Anthony Ralston remaining in the team at right-back which seemed to be the most likely role for Tierney when Andrew Robertson is at left-back.

Che Adams continues to lead the line despite George Hirst being handed his international debut on Thursday.

Pavlidis among six Greece changes

Meanwhile, Greece head coach Ivan Jovanovic has opted to make as many as six alterations to his side, including recalling Vangelis Pavlidis.

The Benfica forward has fond memories of playing in Great Britain having netted against England at Wembley earlier in the season.

There is also a start in midfield for 17-year-old Konstantinos Karetsas, who is making his second appearance for the Greek senior side after his debut came three days ago.

Liverpool defender Kostas Tsimikas is one of the notable names to drop out of the starting lineup.

Scotland XI: Gordon; Ralston, Hanley, Souttar, Robertson; Gilmour, McLean, McGinn, McTominay, Christie; Adams

Greece XI: Tzolakis; Giannoulis, Koulierakis, Mavropanos, Vagiannidis, Mouzakitis, Zafeiris, Tzolis, Konstantelias, Karetsas, Pavlidis
