Scotland vs Switzerland is almost upon us. And after last Friday's disappointing Euro 2024 opener against Germany, it's time to dust ourselves down and get focussed on the task at hand over the remaining two group games.
Scotland may have gone down with a whimper after such fanfare at the Allianz Arena prior to last week's opener.
However, four points from the next two matches against Switzerland and Hungary will more than likely see us through to the last-16 of Euro 2024.
It's the former up first - here's everything you need to know about the game...
When is Scotland vs Switzerland?
Scotland will face off against the Swiss tonight - Wednesday, June 19.
The game will kick-off at 8pm UK time.
It will be played at the Cologne stadium, Cologne.
Is Scotland vs Switzerland on TV and can I live stream it?
Yes, thankfully this game will be broadcast live on terrestrial television.
The game will be showcased live on BBC.
The Group A match can also be accessed for live stream via the BBC iPlayer app.
Team news
Well, we know for certain that Ryan Porteous won't be involved following his sending-off against the Germans.
The former Hibernian centre-back lunged in dangerously on Barcelona midfielder Ilkay Gundogan, which proved costly as he saw red and the hosts were awarded a penalty following a VAR check.
As far as the rest of the squad is concerned, we'll have to see what fitness updates are provided over the course of the coming days.
It is expected that there will be changes to the line up though given the nature of the shocking 5-1 loss in the opening group game in Munich.
Billy Gilmour could come into midfield, with the Brighton player a surprise omission from the starting XI against Germany. He could potentially come in for either Callum McGregor and Ryan Christie.
Porteous will likely be replace be either Grant Hanley or Scott McKenna, who were both used as second-half substitutes at the Allianz.
Up front, Che Adams is likely to be given another shot leading the line, with Lawrence Shankland and Tommy Conway waiting in the wings.
