Scotland need to beat Hungary at Euro 2024 if they are to make history and progress from the group stages for the first time, but who should start in Stuttgart on Sunday at 8pm?

Scotland's record vs Hungary

Scotland have never played Hungary in a competitive match before, with the sides only facing each other twice in a friendly.

Jack Hendry made his debut in their last meeting in Budapest in 2018. Scotland won on that occasion thanks to a second-half goal from Matt Phillips.
