Scotland vs Slovenia team news and current form
Scotland will be without Scott McKenna after the defender was sent off late in the 2-0 win over North Macedonia. Jack Hendry is available again after serving a suspension, while Findlay Curtis has been promoted from the Under-21 squad to add another option in wide areas.
Kieran Tierney and Kenny McLean had already withdrawn from the squad through injury earlier in the international window. Scotland nevertheless produced their strongest attacking performance of the group so far against North Macedonia, with Kieron Bowie and John McGinn scoring.
Slovenia arrive with the same points total as Scotland and have remained competitive across the opening three matches. Their defensive structure and the presence of Jan Oblak give them a strong base, particularly in matches where space is limited.

Scotland vs Slovenia H2H
Scotland are unbeaten in the six senior meetings between the teams. UEFA’s current head-to-head record lists two Scotland wins and four draws, with Slovenia yet to record a victory.
The reverse Nations League fixture in Ljubljana finished 0-0 on 26 September 2026. Across the six meetings, Scotland have scored seven goals and Slovenia three.
Key players and match factors
Scotland’s midfield will be central to how they control the game. Billy Gilmour is set to reach 50 international caps, while John McGinn remains one of the side’s main attacking influences after scoring from the penalty spot against North Macedonia.
Slovenia’s defensive discipline is likely to be one of their main strengths. Jan Oblak gives them experience in goal, and their ability to keep the game compact could make it difficult for Scotland to create clear chances through central areas.
The first goal, Scotland’s discipline after two red cards during the window and Slovenia’s ability to manage pressure at Hampden could all influence the match.
