"I'd take Big Gunny being the hero," says John McGinn.

"Hopefully one of us will be a hero tomorrow night."

That'll do nicely.

Scotland 2-2 USSR, 1982 World Cup

After beating New Zealand 5-2 but losing 4-1 to Brazil, Scotland knew only a win would see them progress.

A dramatic game saw the Scots go ahead through Joe Jordan in the 15th minute, but the USSR hit back in the second half to take the lead.

Graeme Souness equalised four minutes from time, however the game ended 2-2 and Jock Stein's men were out, with the USSR going through in second place.

Scotland 0-0 Uruguay, 1986 World Cup

Scotland suffered losses against Denmark and West Germany, but they still had a chance of making the knockout stages if they could beat Uruguay in their final group game.

Alex Ferguson's men had a man advantage when Uruguay's Jose Batista was sent off inside the first minute, but they could not find a winner and the game ended goalless, seeing the Scots bow out.

Scotland 1-0 Switzerland, Euro 1996

With just one point from two games against the Netherlands and England, Scotland needed a win and a big swing in goal difference against Switzerland to progress to the knockout stages at the expense of the Dutch.

Ally McCoist's 36th-minute goal decided the Villa Park contest and they looked to be going through when England led the Netherlands 4-0.

But Patrick Kluivert's late consolation goal broke Scottish hearts as the Netherlands edged through on goals scored, eliminating Craig Brown's men.

Scotland 0-3 Morocco, 1998 World Cup

As with the Euros two years previously, Scotland went into the final group game on just one point after losing to Brazil 2-1 and drawing 1-1 with Norway.

They needed a win over Morocco and for Brazil to beat the Norwegians, but neither occurred.

Norway pulled off a surprise 2-1 win in their game against Brazil and Scotland were taken to pieces by a strong Morocco side, who beat them 3-0 in St Etienne.

Scotland 1-3 Croatia, Euro 2020

Yet again, Scotland headed into the final group game with just one point, while opponents Croatia also needed a win to progress to the knockout stages.

The visitors took an early lead at Hampden through Nikola Vlasic before Callum McGregor equalised.

However, Luka Modric and Ivan Perisic struck in the second half to give Croatia a 3-1 win, ending Scotland's hopes of progressing through to the knockout stages of a major tournament for the first time.

In the meantime, let's look at how Scotland have fared in previous group-stage deciders.

Spoiler: not great.

You should see a 'watch live' option at the top of the page now.

All going well, that should mean you're able to watch Steve Clarke and John McGinn talk to the media shortly.

What gives me real hope is how we overcame the mental side of the game after taking that thumping against Germany.

You can go into the next game and you just don't perform, you doubt yourselves as a team, as individuals.

We could've won it with that Grant Hanley header but it's a huge point to give ourselves a shot.

Scotland striker Che Adams on potentially reaching Euro 2024 knockouts: "It would go down as the highlight of my career, I think most of the boys would say that as well. To make history for the nation would be so special.

"It's our job to keep it under wraps and keep it to ourselves. There's so much pressure around everything in the tournament and getting out of the group.

"Everyone knows what's at stake. Everyone knows the job. We know what we've got to do and we're fully aware of how we can do it."

On John McGinn, he's one of four Scotland players who are a booking away from a Euro 2024 ban.

Scott McTominay, Scott McKenna and Anthony Ralston are the others.

Of course, we'd have to get through for them to miss a potential knockout game.

Scotland head coach Steve Clarke and midfielder John McGinn will face the media next.

Wonder if McGinn will be asked about his Hungarian cousins? Yes, that's a thing!

It's due to start at half past.

Scotland striker Che Adams on becoming a rare non-Mc Scotland player to score at a Euros: "Most of the boys call me McAdams anyway so I think I'll be fine with that.

"Some days you score, some days you don't, it's part and parcel of football. To just be positive and get shots away is the main goal in any game.

"Going into the game on Sunday, we're going to be under pressure regardless."

More Che Adams content?

I'll take that as a yes...

Before the tournament, Steve Clarke said he felt four points would be enough to qualify.

I think most people would have been surprised if one of those four points came against Germany, it would have been an upset.

The aim was always that you had to beat either Switzerland or Hungary and get a draw against one of them.

We've given ourselves a chance. Go out and do yourselves proud, put that effort and commitment in to get the job done.

Steven Thompson
Former Scotland striker on BBC Sportsound

It's one game, it's a cup final, it's very simple. The players know what to do - just win the game and leave everything on the pitch.

When you're given simple instructions like that, it's easier. You know what you've got to do.

I'm starting to believe we're going to do it and every single Scotland supporter I've spoken to believes we are going to win.

In terms of injuries, Liverpool's Dominik Szoboszlai has skipped training, and Hungary head coach Marco Rossi added: "There's not really any worrying situations.

"We've assessed from a physical perspective and tactical things.

"There will be a couple of changes, but that doesn't come down to bad performances. It's just for more freshness."

• This will be Scotland and Hungary’s first competitive meeting. All nine previous games were friendlies (3 wins for Scotland, 4 wins for Hungary).
• Scotland have won two of the last three encounters, with the most recent a 1-0 away win in March 2018.
• Although Scotland have won just two of their 11 Euros games, both came on MD3 - in 1992 v CIS (3-0) and 1996 v Switzerland (1-0).
• Scotland’s starting XI against Switzerland had a combined total of 470 caps - their most for an international ever. It was also their first XI to feature five players with more than 50 caps – McTominay (51), Hanley (52), McGregor (62), McGinn (68) and Robertson (73).
• Hungary have only won one of their last 17 games at major tournaments against European nations (D5 L11), a 2-0 win over Austria at Euro 2016.
• Excluding own goals, Scotland's six Euros scorers have all had surnames starting with Mc – McStay, McClair and McAllister in 1992; McCoist in 1996; McGregor in 2020; and McTominay in 2024.
• Hungary are winless in their last eight Euros matches (D4 L4) – the only nation to have a longer winless run are Russia between 1988 and 2004 (9 games).
• Since the start of 2023, McTominay has scored eight goals in 10 competitive internationals for Scotland, only one fewer than all other Scottish players combined in that time (9 goals).

Hungary manager Marco Rossi: "I think Scotland are always aggressive. They tried to do that in their first two matches as well.

"As to whether they will still be, we'll see that tomorrow night.

"But I think we're in the same boat as Scotland. It's not just them who need three points, we do too. Coming away with maximum points might see us through to the knockout stage.

"If that doesn't happen, at least we can go away from Euro 2024 with three points, so our aim is exactly the same as Scotland."

"I think the Scottish team is dangerous in general because of their attitude, but they have some real quality players like John McGinn, Billy Gilmour and Scott McTominay.

"At the same time, we need to try and find the right mood to face them."

We've now had a question to Hungary left-back Attila Szalai about Andy Robertson, who warned us about the dangers of the delivery of the Liverpool and Scotland left-back.

His English is bang on and the wee translator on my phone app can take a well deserved rest.

Hungarian defender Endre Botka has been speaking again: "I think our 14-game unbeaten streak raised expectation.

"We started off expecting more points at this stage, now we see in the last two games we didn't do as we expected.

"At times like that we have to go back to the roots and pick up the things that were working in the past.

"If we get the three points we'll still have our hopes."

Scott Mullen

Hungary left-back Attila Szalai: "We are aware of the Scottish teams. They work a lot with and without the ball.

"They have lots of players in top leagues playing at a high level. I don't want to single out any of them."

Hungary defender Endre Botka: "In the first game they left more opened spaces, defended deep in the final third which didn't end up well.

"In the second game we saw a lot more confident and brave Scottish team attacking ferociously.

"That's what we're preparing for."

James McFadden
Former Scotland international on BBC Sport

I thought Hungary were going to be the surprise package of the group. I'm pretty surprised, not in the right way, at the situation they find themselves in.

I think they'll be a tough team to play against. We all know Dominik Szoboszlai, we all know how good he is. They're a good side, well-organised, hard-working and they gave Germany a good game on Wednesday.

I'm hoping the energy levels are there, the belief is there and the goals come from probably Scott McTominay or John McGinn, because that's just what happens.

I'm confident Scotland can get the job done but it will be far from easy.

On paper, the Hungary squad doesn't appear quite as formidable as Scotland’s previous two opponents in Euro 2024 Group A.

Of head coach Marco Rossi’s 26-man selection, nine are drawn from the Hungarian top flight, with others playing at the likes of Omonia in Cyprus, Le Havre in the lower reaches of France's Ligue 1, and Spezia, who finished the season at the wrong end of Italy's second tier.

However, this is a well-oiled machine that, after barren decades without big tournament football, are now party regulars at European Championships as they drink in the last-chance saloon of their third in a row.

There is a feeling that this generation of Hungarian footballers are the best they have had in many years.
