    Very aggressive in their intent...

    In the Budapest sun, Bozsik Arena is a belter.

    A nifty wee ground that, despite its small size, doesn't feel crammed or caved in, instead open and inviting.

    It welcomes a Scotland side full of confidence and belief following the unbeaten Nations League B campaign that got them here.

    Pedro Martinez Losa's side recorded five wins and one draw - in the opening group game - and conceded just one goal along the way while playing some pretty decent football.

    More of that will need to come across the - hopefully - four games that stand between Scotland and next summer's Euro 2025 Championships.

    It's a case of keeping up tradition for the Scots, who have a steady record against the Hungarians. They've enjoyed the lion's share of victories in recent times, with three wins and one draw in the last decade.

    There were plenty roars of excitement to be heard from the squad as they trained in the sunshine on Thursday, ready to get back to international action after three months without pulling on the dark blue shirt.

    If the pre-match excitement and eagerness can be matched come the peep of the whistle, there may be a few boogieing at the Bozsik Arena with the big bronzed lion tonight.

  13. 'Scotland should be beating Hungary'published at 17:06 British Summer Time

    Hungary v Scotland (17:15)

    Makes sense as to why former Scotland goalkeeper Gemma Fay would have this to say then: "There's an expectation [to win] because of the quality of players that we have.

    "And I think Scotland have failed to live up to their expectation in last couple of qualification campaigns.

    "Martinez Losa was saying that reaching the Euros is a dream bigger than any dream. I don't think it's a dream.

    "Dreams are things which couldn't be attainable. This is absolutely attainable. It should be attainable.

    "And, if you look at the standard and quality of player that we have, we should be beating Hungary home and away."

    Hungary v Scotland (17:15)

    Makes fine reading for Scotland fans, doesn't it?

    Five games, five wins, 13 goals scored, two conceded.

    Tonight's opponents on the other hand have just two wins, nine goals scored, six conceded.

    Scotland are currently 23rd in Fifa's world rankings, with the Hungarians 46th.

    But we all know anything can happen in tournament football...

    Aye, Caroline Weir is back, but the star of the show so far has been wee Innes Mukandi.

    Mum Emma is on the bench, but she's been benched all trip by her daughter delighting everyone in her company.

    As the players came out to get a feel for the pitch pre-match, Innes was showing her skills as a future international, nutmegging her mum and Jamie-Lee Napier.

    One to keep an eye on...

    This is where we’re seated for the evening, right above the dugout and hopefully in earshot of any changes as the game progresses.

    So good to see Caroline Weir back. All smiles in the warm-up as she’s set to wear the captain’s armband.

  20. Triple change for Hungarypublished at 16:52 British Summer Time

    Hungary v Scotland (17:15)

    Hungary's Alexandra Szarvas has made three changes from the side that drew 1-1 against Azerbaijan back in April.

    Lauren Brzykcy replaces Reka Szocs in goal. Martha Thomas' Tottenham Hotspur team-mate, midfielder Anna Csiki, also starts, as does Lazio striker Zsanett Kajan.

    Cintia Oreg and Henrietta Csiszar, who drops out through injury, are the outfield players to make way.
