Scots to Come Up Short in Greece

Greece booked their place in the play-offs by finishing second to England in League B, Group 2. The Greeks won five of six but finished behind the Three Lions on goal difference.

Greece picked up a memorable 2-1 win against the English at Wembley Stadium last October. Vangelis Pavlidis was the hero, scoring both goals. However, they missed out on first place after a 3-0 home loss to England in November.

Scotland had a tough time in League A, Group 1, but Steve Clarke’s boys more than held their own. They finished in third place on seven points, just a point behind runners-up Croatia. The Scots won two, drew one, and lost three of six.

Scotland were heading for relegation to League B, but they were brilliant in their last three games to finish above Poland. After a 0-0 draw with Portugal, John McGinn’s goal gave them a famous 1-0 home victory over Croatia. On the final day, Scotland beat the Poles 2-1 in Warsaw to secure third.
