Scotland v Portugal LIVE: Latest scores and goal updates as the Scots take on Cristiano Ronaldo in the Nations League

The Ronaldo question – Martinez ponders the Portuguese star's involvement against Scotland

Scotland are desperate to end their losing streak as Hampden face Portugal and Cristiano Ronaldo in the Nations League.

Steve Clarke's side are on a “tough” nine-game winning streak, but defeat to Croatia on Saturday means the Tartan Army will have to lose five games in a row for the first time in their history if the result doesn't go their way runs in Glasgow this evening.

The Scots have been hit by an injury crisis and a series of last-minute misfortunes. After defeats to Poland and Portugal last month, Clarke's side then scored the stoppage-time equalizer that would have salvaged a 2-2 draw with Croatia, which was ruled out for offside in Zagreb.

This means Scotland is facing relegation from the top division of the Nations League, but a win against Portugal and Ronaldo would significantly ease the gloomy mood.

The game will not be televised live as ITV has not taken over the broadcast rights, and can only be viewed on Viaplay International's YouTube channel. Follow live updates from Scotland vs Portugal in the Nations League below:

A misstep! A clever header from Che Adams puts Scott McTominay on the ball, but the Napoli midfielder fails to connect cleanly! Could Adams have gone for the goal himself? Maybe, but you would have supported McTominay to beat the bouncing ball.
