Scotland are preparing for their third match under Sebastien Pocognoli away to North Macedonia on Saturday evening.
After taking just one point from his opening two matches against Slovenia and Switzerland, Pocognoli will be desperate to break his duck in Skopje.
Scotland’s 3-0 defeat against Switzerland on Tuesday meant they failed to score in four consecutive matches for the first time since 1971.
Their last goal was John McGinn’s 28th-minute strike in their World Cup group-stage opener against Haiti in June. If Scotland do not score within the first 25 minutes in Skopje, it will mark the longest all-time run without a goal in the national team’s 154-year history.
We take a look at how Pocognoli might line up for the Nations League B clash:
5. Aaron Hickey
The Brentford wing-back was left in reserve against Switzerland and while Patterson did fine in his absence, Hickey is often Scotland's first choice in this position and offers more attacking threat. Pocognoli could deploy Gannon-Doak here if he is feeling ultra-offensive, but we reckon Hickey will get the nod for his all-round play. | SNS Group
6. Lewis Ferguson
The only midfielder with a naturally defensive outlook to his game, Ferguson is likely to remain in the deeper No 6 role despite having started against Slovenia and Switzerland. | SNS Group
7. Billy Gilmour
In a game where Scotland are expected to be the aggressor, Gilmour is going to be so important if the visitors are to break through the lines. Remains the chief creator in Scotland's midfield. | SNS Group
8. Ryan Christie
Came on against the Swiss and with questions over John McGinn's recent performances for Scotland, the Bournemouth man may be given a shot in central midfield. | SNS Group
