I'm down in London for the match and have been thoroughly entertained by the pre-game knockabout in the media.

Beni Baningime is one the most enjoyable interviewees in the league and yesterday was no different. A great character.

Bit of transfer news coming up

Jamie McCart on his way to Edinburgh after fee agreed for him to join Hearts. Don't expect it will be too long until he's announced as Neil Critchley's second January signing.

Has Gregor Townsend solved the captaincy question? Do Scotland now have the physicality to compete at the very top? I take a look ahead to a huge 2025 for the men's national team.

Spoke to Sean Everitt and Franco Smith today. Despite the first leg being so one-sided I am looking forward to the game tomorrow!

Merry Christmas everyone!

Plenty to get stuck into with Andrew McKinlay this afternoon. He's absolutely sold on the power of Jamestown - and the data has already led Hearts to some under-the-radar transfer targets.

Scunnert by Scotland tonight. Played Finland off the park tonight but over two matches unable to score a single goal. Too talented a group to be missing tournament after tournament.

Some great performances across the board from Scotland today and the captain was a massive part of it. Team in good shape for 2025 and another tilt at the Six Nations.

Lawrence Shankland really open on his problems in front of goal this season, and why he thinks he can recapture his scoring form. Also addresses how he is approaching his future as his Hearts deal ends in the summer.

I love this. She clearly means the world to Sione and Mosese. They never thought she'd get the chance to come back to Scotland and see them play.

Scotland entered this Nations League trying to reset and build towards the campaign *after* this one. They've come close to a remarkable place in the final eight, playing a new brand of football. Optimism is well and truly back.

Scotland playin some sublime football. 1-0 not to be sniffed at but they deserve to be ahead by more - and it's a fragile lead to try and defend. But all over the park they're producing great stuff.

King Creosote busking some acoustic songs to a packed Usher Hall after the PA packed in. Gutted the show couldn't go on, but we'll be back - minus the crackle - next month.

Right Portugal, what ya got?
