Scotland's road to Germany begins as Cyprus travel to Hampden and it stakes couldn't be higher.
Steve Clarke's side got a taste of a major tournament for the first time in 23 years at Euro 2020 and they will be determined to begin their latest qualifying campaign with a victory after missing out on the World Cup last year. The Scots boss has opted for minimal upheaval in his squad, although Craig Gordon's double leg break has resulted in three uncapped goalkeepers in Clarke's 23-man squad, including Norwich City stopper Angus Gunn. Blackburn Rovers defender Dom Hyam was also a late call-up alongside Celtic's Anthony Ralston after Jack Hendry pulled out through injury.
The game also could see Hoops midfielder Callum McGregor enrolled in the SFA Roll of Honour as he nears a milestone 50th cap. Cyprus rank 110th in the FIFA world rankings but have proved that they will be no easy walkover with Scotland winning each of their last five meetings by a single-goal margin.
