Scotland visit Croatia tonight in their latest Nations League A encounter.

Steve Clarke’s men have found it tough going among the elite counties in Europe and have yet to pick up a point from a home game with Poland an away clash in Portugal.

Indeed, Scotland come into this game with just one win – against Gibraltar – in their last 14 games.

Croatia Team News

Zlatko Dalic makes three changes to the side that beat Poland 1-0 last month.

Mateo Kovacic, Marko Pjaca and Bruno Petkovic drop out with Ivan Perisic, Mario Pasalic and Andrej Kramaric coming into the starting XI.

Croatia: Livaković, Šutalo, Ćaleta-Car, Gvardiol, Perišić, Modrić, Pašalić, Sosa, L Sučić, Matanović, Kramarić.

Lyndon Dykes starts in attack rather than Che Adams.
