Scotland take on Greece over two legs in March to determine if they stay in the top tier of the Nations League.
Having finished third in their A group, Steve Clarke's side must beat the B group runner-up to remain in the top tier of the competition.Scotland finished with wins at home to Croatia and away to Poland to end their first campaign at A level on seven points.
Greece were second behind England on goal difference in Group B2, taking 15 points from their six matches, which included a 2-1 victory at Wembley.Liam McLeod, BBC Sport Scotland commentatorGreece won at Wembley and were only pipped by England to promotion by virtue of a 3-0 collapse in Athens last week. That defeat was on the harsh side given visiting goalkeeper Jordan Pickford had to make several excellent saves.
Their superb win in London helped propel Greece into pot two for the World Cup qualifiers as Scotland were nudged down to pot three.The controversial changes to the structure of this competition have not been kind to the Scots. Previously, finishing third would have been enough to stay on the A-list.
Remaining in the top tier could prove helpful when it comes to securing at least a play-off for the next European Championship, with Scotland co-hosting, along with England, Wales and Republic of Ireland.Dan-Air: Why did the family-run airline fail?How 'reinvigorated' Arsenal turned things aroundShould Wales coach Gatland stay or go?
