Scotland will look to maintain a positive run of home results as they take on Gibraltar, with UEFA's newest nation yet to get on the scoresheet in UEFA EURO 2016 qualifying Group D. Previous meetings • This is the first meeting between sides from these nations at senior level. • The two countries met in a UEFA European Under-17 Championship qualifier in the Republic of Ireland in September 2014, with Scotland prevailing 4-0.

From 1980 it was expanded to an eight-team finals and remained in that format in 1984, 1988 and 1992 until 1996, when the 16-team format was adopted. UEFA EURO 2016 was the first tournament to be played as a 24-team finals.

Records of inactive countries A number of UEFA associations have been affected by dissolution or splits of member associations. For statistical purposes, the records of these inactive countries have been allocated elsewhere: therefore, all Soviet Union matches are awarded to Russia; all West Germany – but not East Germany – matches are awarded to Germany; all Yugoslavia and Serbia & Montenegro matches are awarded to Serbia; all Czechoslovakia matches are allocated to both the Czech Republic and Slovakia.

Abandoned/forfeited matches For statisical purposes, when a match has been started and then abandoned but later forfeited, the result on the pitch at the time of abandonment is counted. Matches that never started and were either cancelled or forfeited are not included in the overall statistics.
