Scotland mostly line up in a 3-4-2-1 formation with Norwich City goalkeeper Angus Gunn in goal. Steve Clarke has unfortunately lost his two preferred right-backs, meaning he now needs to select either Ross McCrorie<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/strong>or\u00a0Anthony Ralston, with both appearing in warm-up games. Andy Robertson, the Liverpool <\/span>left-back<\/span> will seemingly start in his favoured position and be a mainstay of this side. <\/span>The centre-backs <\/span>have <\/span>been selected<\/span> from between<\/span> Jack Hendry, Ryan Porteous, Kieran Tierney, Grant Hanley and Scott McKenna.<\/span><\/p>\n Read More<\/strong>: Three Scotland Players To Watch Out For In Euro 2024<\/a><\/p>\n In midfield, in the final qualification games and pre-tournament friendlies, we have seen Billy Gilmour, Scot McTominay and Callum McGregor used in the <\/span>deeper<\/span> double pivot, with Ryan Christie and John McGinn appearing in the more advanced roles in recent games.<\/span><\/p>\n In attack, it’s mainly been Hearts striker Lawrence Shankland, who scored his team’s second goal in the 2-2 draw with Finland on June 7.
