Scotland need to beat the Faroes Island this evening to maintain pole position in the race for the World Cup play-offs and Steve Clarke has now named his starting eleven, with former Celtic midfielder Ryan Christie getting a start and Celtic captain Callum McGregor resting on the bench, to be introduced if and when he’s required.
With Scotland you can never take anything for granted but after beating Austria in Vienna and coming back from a goal down at the internal against Israel on Saturday, surely Scotland can’t blow it now?
