France vs Scotland team news
With this being an international friendly one can expect Didier Deschamps to rotate his squad. The likes of Alphonse Areola, Jean-Clair Todibo, Benjamin Pavard, Eduardo Camavinga and Ousmane Dembélé were unused substitutes in the win over Netherlands last time out while Olivier Giroud and Marcus Thuram came off the bench. Someone hoping to feature and maintain his ridiculous appearance streak is Antoine Griezmann who hasn’t missed a French game since June 2017.
Steve Clarke could also ring in the changes with Billy Gilmour, Stuart Armstrong, Kenny McLean and Ché Adams all hoping to start.
