Scotland are relegated after heavy home loss to Greece
The Independent
|March 24, 2025
Scotland were relegated from the Nations League top flight after a 3-0 home defeat by Greece.
Steve Clarke’s side made a decent start but goals from Giannis Konstantelias, Konstantinos Karetsas and Christos Tzolis had the visitors 3-1 up on aggregate with just 15 seconds of the second half played.
The Hampden crowd expressed their dissent on several occasions as Scotland never really looked like getting back into the game. They now drop down to the second tier of the competition ahead of the next set of group games in the autumn of 2026.
Scotland had Ryan Christie back in the team after suspension with Lewis Ferguson the only player to drop out following the 10 first-leg win. Greece made six changes including handing a first start to Karetsas, the 17-year-old wide player whose introduction helped change the flow of the game in Greece’s favour in the second half on Thursday.
