What result do Scotland want from Norway vs Spain? How every outcome impacts Euro 2024 qualification and seeding for Germany

We're so close now we can taste it but for Steve Clarke and his team, there is nothing they can do but sit and watch.

Well, until November, at least. The nation thought Scott McTominay had all-but sealed our status as the first club to qualify for Euro 2024 but a VAR intervention and a couple of Spain goals mean we'll need at least one more bite at the cherry. That comes when Norway welcome the Spanish to Oslo, desperately looking for an unlikely win that would keep their thin qualification hopes alive.

Anything other than a Norway win and, well, it's party time. But there's more than that to think about, with how the group finishes having a direct impact on the seedings for Germany when it comes around. So what exactly is the ideal scenario for the Scots, and why should we stop short of cheering Spain on to a comfortable win in Scandinavia? Record Sport takes a look.

The taps will come aff and the glasses will be raised. Spain win, Scotland qualify, it's as simple as that. Well....not quite.

The nation will breathe a sigh of relief if Spain do what they should because it would mean we are mathematically there, and not even tripping over our own feet can stop us. It would, however, put Luis de la Fuente's team in the driving seat to win the group. Head to head is the chief decider in qualifying but that is equal after a 2-0 win apiece, so it would go down to goal difference where Spain are 6 better off after their rampant win over Georgia.

It's a funny situation because a draw is exactly what we want...but try telling us that at 9.30pm on Sunday night when a Spain goal would take the doubt out of the equation. A share of
