Scotland's preparation for the European Championships continues on Friday when they host Finland in a friendly at Hampden.

For the Euros, the Scots find themselves in a group alongside Germany, Hungary and Switzerland.

Scotland current form

Scotland defeated Gibraltar 2-0 in a friendly on Monday but it was a disappointing performance overall as they were shut out for nearly an hour by the minnows.

Prior to that, they played two friendlies in March and lost against the Netherlands and Northern Ireland.

They reached the Euros after finishing second in Group A behind Spain and ahead of Norway, Georgia and Cyprus.

Finland current form

Finland recently played friendlies versus Estonia and Portugal, winning the former 2-1 and losing the latter 4-2.

Scotland vs Finland Team News

Steve Clarke will likely make a number of alterations to his starting XI so expect some or all of Anthony Ralston, Scott McKenna, Callum McGregor, Kieran Tierney and Che Adams to be included.

John Souttar, Scott McTominay and Stuart Armstrong all missed the game on Monday, so could feature.

Due to the injury suffered by Lyndon Dykes, Lewis Morgan has been called up to the squad for the Euros.

Finland have no fresh injury concerns after the Portugal game.

Scoreline Prediction

Clarke will have read the riot act after the first half performance against Gibraltar, so expect more from the Scots in this one.

Scotland 3-1 Finland
