It is the game the country have been waiting 23 years for with the anticipation growing every day since David Marshall saved Aleksandar Mitrović’s penalty in a famous night in Belgrade.
Through the World Cup qualifiers and pre-tournament warm-up games there has been plenty of deliberation as to who will play where and what the exact formation it will be, either 3-4-1-2 or 3-4-2-1. Clarke has opted for the latter. But there are key omissions.

5. RWB: Stephen O’Donnell
The Motherwell ace is a trusted Steve Clarke lieutenant. Never let him down at Kilmarnock or Scotland. Will add physical presence, height and defensive reassurance to allow the left side to push forward. Photo: JACK GUEZ
6. CM: Scott McTominay
Different class for Manchester United. So good in fact that it would be wrong to leave him at centre-back. Photo: Christian Kaspar-Bartke
7. CM - Stuart Armstrong
The Southampton man will provide added thrust from midfield. His relationship with Che Adams has so much potential having played with one another at club level. Photo: PATRICIA DE MELO MOREIRA
8. LWB: Andy Robertson
That run, that acceleration, that cross v the Netherlands. He may not play the same way as at Liverpool but he remains so good and so important. Photo: Christian Kaspar-Bartke
