Head-to-head

Scotland have only won four of the 17 matches between the two sides, the most recent win coming in October 1987.

Ally McCoist and Paul McStay bagged the goals, current Scotland boss Alex McLeish was also in the side that day.

The pair last met in 2013 in Glasgow with Steven Defour and Kevin Mirallas humbling the Scots in a 2-0 win.

Likely XIs

Tom Cairney, Matt Phillips, Oli McBurnie and Jack Hendry have all withdrawn through injury for Scotland.

Scottish Premiership pair Ryan Jack and Steven Naismith and West Ham United’s Robert Snodgrass all drafted in.

New skipper Andy Robertson may get the nod ahead Keiran Tierney at left-back.

With Kevin de Bruyne and Adnan Januzaj both absent, there may be a new look to Roberto Martinez’s men for this one.

The Belgian Pro League quartet of Timothy Castagne, Hans Vanaken, Birger Verstraete and Leandro Trossard could feature tonight.
