National team manager Steve Clarke doesn’t have his problems to seek ahead of the game with several players ruled out due to a combination of injury and unavailability due to Covid-19 protocols.
Stuart Armstrong, Greg Taylor and James Forrest were all forced to pull out of the squad shortly after it was announced thanks to injury.
Further blows came this weekend with the news John McGinn and Nathan Patterson would be missing due to government restrictions.
The loss of Patterson and Forrest, two options at right wing-back, were further exacerbated when it was revealed Stephen O’Donnell was unable to travel for this match.
Then, just to top things off, Kevin Nisbet was ruled out with a knock, which means there will be no natural forward on the bench if Clarke decides to start two up top.

Aside from Tierney, he's the only choice at right wing-back that would make a lick of sense. His speed and work rate will come in handy going up and down the flank. Defensively it's a concern, though. Photo: Alan Harvey - SNS Group

Starred in Scotland's impressive 0-0 draw at Wembley during the Euros and will need to put in an equally accomplished performance if Clarke's side are going to get something out of this. Photo: Ross MacDonald - SNS Group / SFA
