Head-to-Head

The reverse fixture was the first time the two nations have ever met. A Steven Naismith goal helped the Scots to a 2-0 win which puts them right in the mix for qualification.

Both sides did lose their last matches in the competition, but the Tartan Army do have a game in hand on both Israel and the Albanians.

Likely XIs

Kevin McDonald, Tom Cairney, Robert Snodgrass and Matt Ritchie headline a 15-strong list of players unavailable.

They have a serious problem a right-back where Ryan Fraser may have to fill in yet again.

Albania boss Christian Panucci is still without the team’s top scorer Armir Sadiku which means Bekim Balaj will come in.

Older brother of Switzerland’s Granit, Taulant Xhaka will be a key man in the centre of midfield.

They could have Napoli’s Elseid Hysaj in a back three and do have Rangers man Eros Grezda in their ranks.
