(Reuters) - Scotland have plenty of quality and Portugal are bracing themselves for a tricky test, head coach Roberto Martinez said on the eve of Sunday's Nations League clash between the two sides.

Portugal won their Nations League opener against Croatia 2-1 on Thursday, while Steve Clarke's Scotland slumped to a 3-2 defeat against Poland after giving away a last-gasp penalty.
