Tartan Army still have a chance to progress
Scotland are still in with a chance of reaching the knockout stages at Euro 2024 but must beat Hungary to stand any hope.
The Scots recovered from their humbling at the hands of Germany on the opening day to earn a creditable draw with the Swiss on Wednesday evening, while Hungary were beaten by Germany.
It means a victory would take the Tartan Army up to four points and put them in a great position to qualify as one of the best-placed third-ranked sides.
Scotland vs Hungary is scheduled for an 8pm BST kick-off on Sunday June 23, 2024.
The match will take place at Stuttgart Arena.

Marco Rossi made two changes for Hungary’s defeat on Wednesday and came through without any fresh injuries.
Further adjustments in defence are unlikely despite the errors for Germany’s opening goal and the Magyars should persist with their 5-2-3 shape.
Hungary did look dangerous going forward at times against the Germans, while the Scots will miss Tierney.
Draw, 1-1.
Matt Phillips scored the only goal in these teams’ last meeting, a friendly in Budapest six years ago.
