SCOTLAND have picked up a valuable point on the road against England.
Steve Clarke’s men lost 2-0 at home to the Czech Republic in their opening match at Hampden as Patrik Schick scored from the halfway line.
But all is not lost after a battling performance at the Home of Football, leaving all to play for.
How can Scotland qualify for the Euro 2020 last 16?
Scotland’s chances of qualifying are boosted by the fact that the best four third placed teams from the six groups will progress to the last 16.
However, they are not helped by the fact that head-to-head record is the first method used to split teams level on points in Uefa competitions.
That means if Scotland were to finish level on points with the Czech Republic, the Czechs would be placed higher in the group because of their 2-0 win.
Scotland will be through to the last-16 if they beat Croatia on Tuesday, regardless of the result between England and Czech Republic.
But Steve Clarke’s only concern will be the lack of goals – they are yet to score in the tournament.
At Euro 2016, the lowest ranked third placed team to qualify from their group was Northern Ireland.
They finished with three points and a goal difference of zero.
