Netherlands vs Scotland live stream: How to watch international friendly online today, team news

The Netherlands vs Scotland live stream will be one of the final opportunities for the managers to asses their squads before Euro 2024. The friendly takes place at the Johan Cruijff Arena - and you can watch a Netherlands vs Scotland live stream from anywhere with a VPN, potentially for FREE!

After finishing second in their qualifying groups, both these teams can look forward to the tournament in Germany in the summer. The Tartan Army have not been in great form recently, drawing with Norway and Georgia and being beaten by France. The Oranje are in much better shape. They have beaten Gibraltar, the Republic of Ireland and Greece in their last three matches.

When Ronald Koeman named his squad, he became the first manager in 29 years not to include an Ajax player in a Dutch squad. Steve Clarke is without the injured Callum McGregor and Aaron Hickey. 

The hosts boast the better head-to-head record, winning nine of the 21 meetings between these teams. Scotland have six victories and there have been five draws.

Here's how they line up:

Netherlands: Flekken, Geertruida, Van Dijk, Ake, Simons, Wijnaldum, Memphis, Gakpo, Reijnders, Wieffer, Frimpong

Scotland: Gunn, Robertson, Tierney, Hendry, Porteous, Patterson, Gilmour, Christie McGinn, McTominay, Shankland

The players will be desperate to impress their managers and book their place on the plane to Euro 2024. Expect plenty of energy and effort. Read on to find out how you can watch the full 90 minutes.
