Who will win Cyprus vs Scotland? Our writers make their predictions for Euro 2024 qualifying clash

If results go our way, then we could be celebrating Euro 2024 qualification on Tuesday night.

But this is Scotland and if we've learned anything following this national team of ours, then it's not to expect things to fall into our lap. Steve Clarke's men are in Cyprus for tonight's crunch qualifier and it may be a cliche, but they can only focus on themselves as they look to beat the Larnaca heat and make it five wins from five.

That would mean results next midweek, when the Scots welcome the Auld Enemy to Hampden, could see a place in Germany next summer confirmed. But the likelihood is that more points will be required against either Spain next month or Georgia in November. First things first though, and getting the job done in Cyprus is all the matters for now before we can break out the lederhosen and start dreaming about cold, frothy steins.

The Record Sport team share their thoughts on how they see it going.

Cyprus 1-2 Scotland

It’ll be hot and sticky in Larnaca but this is the kind of game that brings us out in a cold sweat. It’ll be tough but
