Scotland vs Switzerland lineups: Starting XIs, confirmed team news, injury latest for Euro 2024 today

Scotland bring Grant Hanley in to replace Ryan Porteous for tonight’s Euro 2024 clash with Switzerland.

Scotland need to swiftly respond to their disastrous performance on the opening night of the tournament, losing 5-1 to hosts Germany as Porteous was shown a straight red card before half-time for a dreadful challenge.

Clarke has insisted the task remains the same for his side and urged them to keep their focus on securing four points in the group stage, which should be enough to reach the last-16.

With Porteous suspended, Hanley is the man brought into the back three, having been called into action off the bench against Germany.

Billy Gilmour comes into the side in midfield, with Ryan Christie the man to make way. Che Adams struggled to get into the game on Friday night, though gets the nod again.

As for Switzerland, they go into this match knowing a second win of the tournament would already be enough for them to start thinking about the knockout stages.

The key decision came up front, after Breel Embolo came off the bench in the victory over Hungary and scored late on. The 27-year-old has returned to fitness after a miserable season with injury but misses out.

Denis Zakaria (thigh) and Steven Zuber (calf) were both left out of the squad for that match after failing to overcome injury issues of their own.
