Scotland manager Steve Clarke believes if his team play their «own game» against Spain they can get a result to secure qualification for Euro 2024.
An impressive campaign sees the Scots sitting top of Group A with five wins from five, with a draw in Seville all that is required to secure a place in Germany next summer.
Scott McTominay's double saw them stun the Spaniards with a 2-0 win at Hampden Park in March and Clarke is confident of another strong performance on Thursday night.
