Scotland head coach Steve Clarke has named his starting XI that will take on the Republic of Ireland in this evening's Nations League match.
After a triumphant 3-0 victory over Ukraine on Wednesday, the Tartan Army know that two draws will be enough to seal promotion from Group B to A. Everton right-back Nathan Patterson suffered an injury in the midweek clash and doesn't make this one, replaced by Aaron Hickey. Arsenal and former Celtic defender Kieran Tierney is likely to play at left-back opposed to left-centre-back.
Craig Gordon remains in goal despite awaiting news over the birth of his second son with Lyndon Dykes opted for in attack ahead of Che Adams after his double against Ukraine. Ryan Fraser supplied both assists but he remains on the bench.

The last meeting between these sides ended 3-0 to the away side in Dublin and defender Scott McKenna wants to atone for the loss: “I’d imagine they (Ireland) will play much the same because of the problems they caused us.
"But we were very poor that day and let a lot of people down,” he said. “We’ll be looking to make up for that tomorrow.”
Scotland XI: Gordon, Hickey, Hendry, McKenna, Tierney, McTominay, McGregor, Armstrong, McGinn, Christie, Dykes.
Subs: Kelly, Taylor, Ralston, Adams, Gilmour, Jack, Gallagher, Porteous, McLean, Fraser, Doig, McCrorie.
