Scotland are well-placed in Group C ahead of their latest World Cup qualifier against Greece at Hampden Park on Thursday night.
Steve Clarke’s side managed to secure four points from their opening two games of the four-team section last month, which included a spirited goalless draw in Copenhagen against top seeds Denmark before recording a routine 2-0 win over minnows Belarus.
It leaves them in a strong position heading into back-to-back home clashes at the national stadium this week, with the Greeks first to visit Mount Florida eyeing a repeat of their dominant Nations League play-off victory back in March, which consigned the Scots to relegation from ‘League A’.
Greece head to Glasgow still licking their wounds after a shock 3-0 defeat to the Danes on matchday two and Scotland will be gunning for revenge as they aim to put themselves in the driving seat for qualification.
Head coach Clarke will have a couple of difficult selection calls to make, but it’s unlikely he will tinker too much from the way his side set up in Copenhagen. He could, however, make a few alterations from the team that started the Belarus match, with right-back Max Johnston not included in the latest squad.
Here’s our predicted Scotland team, including decisions on a Hibs duo and a returning Hearts star.
5. Andy Robertson - LB
No longer a regular starter for Liverpool, which will be a cause for concern long term but the skipper has played a fair bit since last month's international camp and gets the nod again. | Getty Images
6. Billy Gilmour - CM
A surprise exclusion from Clarke's starting XI out in Copenhagen, but showed exactly what he brings to the table with an outstanding display against Belarus. Needs to start. | Getty Images
7. Scott McTominay - CM
Occupied a more attack-minded role across the past two games, but might be asked to drop a bit deeper to anchor the midfield alongside Gilmour. The pair are team-mates at club level & Lewis Ferguson was arguably a wasted jersey against Belarus. | Getty Images
8. John McGinn - CAM
Hasn't quite hit the heights he did a few years ago for his country in recent games, but still poses a dangerous threat. Could be suited by filling the No.10 role as part of an reshuffled forward line. | SNS Group
