SCOTLAND EYES FIRST EVER KNOCKOUT APPEARANCE

Scotland will be looking for a vital three points in order to increase its chances of making the knockout stages for the first time in its history.

Tierney was stretchered off in the match after going to the floor clutching his hamstring, an injury which has ruled him out for the rest of the tournament.
