SPAIN are in Scotland’s group for the Euro 2024 qualifiers and La Furio Roja will have the support of some sizzling Wags along the way.
Steve Clarke’s men host the Spaniards at Hampden on Tuesday March 28 with the reverse fixture coming in October.

Going into their first qualifying campaign under new boss Luis de le Fuente, Spain are the best-ranked team in Scotland‘s section and many people’s favourites to top the group.
That’s despite a raft of retirements in the wake of their World Cup exit, including Sergio Ramos, Sergio Busquets and Gerard Pique (the latter of course formerly attached to pop superstar Shakira).
For the current crop, they can expect the backing of a former Miss Universe, a cheerleader, a professional show-jumper and a fashion designer.
Andrea Martinez (Kepa Arrizabalaga)
The Chelsea keeper’s is engaged to a former Miss Universe, no less.
Andrea won Miss Universe Spain in 2020 and Kepa proposed to her in September last year.

Andrea is a former beauty queen
Prior to meeting the footy star, Andrea was a talented basketball player in her youth, being selected for Spain’s under-15s squad.
The beauty queen is a certified plasmologist according to her Instagram account, where she often posts bikini pictures from sun-kissed locations.
Daphne Cañizares (Dani Carvajal)
Vice-captain of the current Spain squad, the Real Madrid stalwart has been married to partner Daphne since the summer.
The two tied the knot at a rustic former Franciscan convent in Ayllón, Segovia, in front of just 250 close friends and family members.

They were even serenaded on stage by a singer during the ceremony.
The couple share a son and Daphne posted a picture of them supporting Dani in Qatar after Spain were eliminated from the World Cup.
Daphne has been paid to promote certain products on her Instagram, so she can be described as an influencer.
Maria Cortes (Nacho)
The Real Madrid defender has three kids with wife Maria, two of whom have already been kitted out in the strip of their father’s beloved club.
The family are extremely outgoing, with brunette beauty Maria’s Instagram is full of pictures of them doing various activities including sailing, quad biking and visiting the beach.
Sara Botello (Aymeric Laporte)
Sara is a talented dancer, being trained in ballet and also regularly appearing with the cheerleaders for the Bilbao Basket basketball team.

They share a son, Lucay, who was born last year.
Lola Liberal (Mikel Merino)
The former Newcastle midfielder, who struggled to settle on Tyneside, has worked his way into the Spain squad after several impressive seasons at the heart of Real Sociedad’s midfield.

Lola has posted pictures of her sharing a beer with her other half and she’s also a bit of an animals lover, regularly sharing cute snaps of her dog and on horseback.

Maria grew up in Seville, not far from her future beau who grew up on the outskirts of the city.
A former model, the beautiful brunette is now a PE teacher at a primary school in Spain.
Sira Martinez (Ferran Torres)
The Barcelona striker has 15 goals in 35 caps but just missed out on inclusion this time around as he’s not been in great form for Xavi’s side, but if he finds his feet at the Camp Nou he’ll surely be back in the squad later in the qualifying campaign once boss De La Fuente has had a look at some of his other options.
Sira is the daughter of former Spain boss Luis Enrique, interestingly enough.

She is a professional show-jumper and a member of the swanky Barcelona Royal Polo Club.
Sira is also an influencer, with over 350,000 followers on Instagram.
Nuria Moreno (Gerard Moreno)
Villarreal star Moreno won’t feature against Scotland on Tuesday – he was originally in the frame to play at Hampden but had to withdraw from the squad due to injury.
Gerard has been with Nuria since 2009 and the couple tied the knot in 2018.
They have two girls, five-year-old Melissa and three-year-old Martha.
Jennifer Rueda (Iago Aspas)
Jennifer and Iago have been dating since 2012 and have three children together.
Iago has spent the majority of his career with Celta Vigo but Jennifer also accompanied him to Liverpool, where he played for two seasons and Sevilla in southern Spain, where he spent time on loan before returning to Celta.

The blonde beauty describes herself as an entrepreneur but it’s her family life that dominates her Instagram, with several pics of her and the kids and Iago both at home and on their holidays.
Alice Campello (Alvaro Morata)
Spain’s captain had to work pretty hard to win over Alice, as she revealed she spent eight months ignoring his messages before they got together.
