Dykes believes in his team togetherness
Striker Dykes is sure that his team has developed a sense of togetherness that should allow them enter the encounter with no fear despite Spain's opening 3-0 victory over Norway.
Speaking in an interview, Dyke said, “The mindset should be that we can win every game we play, I’ve said that since I came into the Scotland set-up.
“We’ve got great players who play in the Premier League, probably the best league in the world, and we’ve got great depth, so we need to be positive and make sure the crowd are behind us and that make it a hard game for Spain.

TRANSFERS Arsenal set to make move for Brighton midfielder after January move fall through
The Premier League leaders Arsenal are prepared to try again in the summer for Brighton midfielder Moises Caicedo after the deal collapsed in January.
“It would give us a major boost going forward in the whole competition if we can win this game. If you can pick up six points in the first two games, it’s going to be a major step forward, especially against a team like Spain.
“It won’t be easy though. We have to be focused and carry out the game plan.
“What we’ve built as a team and the togetherness in the group has got us through games and games like this against big teams is when we need it the most.
“Being at home with the crowd behind us, we have to make sure we bring that on the night.”
Dykes happy to be back with the boys
In the Euro 2024 qualifying tournament, Scotland defeated Cyprus in their opening group-stage match, and Dyke's Saturday substitute appearance was crucial to their victory. Che Adams was forced to withdraw from the team due to an injury, therefore the QPR player will likely start as the main striker against Spain.

“Obviously Lawrence Shankland has come in now and he’s had a great season. If I get the nod on the night, I’ll be doing my best. The manager knows what I can bring, we’ve got a great relationship.”
