"That we've managed to do two Euros, to get to the play-offs for the previous World Cup and narrowly miss out - it all builds a determination, an anger for not making the last World Cup. "Knowing that you can get there, it all feeds in, it all feeds in on top of the players and the individuals progressing at their clubs. Definitely the confidence is as high as I've seen.""
"And with two home games to come - they also host Belarus on Sunday - they know six points will go a long way to securing a place in the United States, Canada and Mexico next summer, especially with Denmark also due to visit Hampden next month. All focus for now is on Greece, though, with assistant coach Steven Naismith confident he knows what is required to reverse the outcome of their last meeting."
Scotland host Greece at Hampden aiming to avenge a 3-0 Nations League play-off defeat that relegated them to Group B. Scotland have four points from two Group C qualifiers after a goalless draw in Denmark and a 2-0 win in Belarus. Two upcoming home matches, including Belarus and Denmark visits, offer a chance to collect six points and strengthen qualification prospects for the 2026 World Cup. Assistant coach Steven Naismith highlighted clear areas for improvement, strong team confidence, and the players' progression at club level. Greece suffered a 3-0 home loss to Denmark and need a result to revive qualification hopes.
