Scotland play the Republic of Ireland in the Nations League tonight as the hosts look to get revenge for June’s 3-0 defeat in Dublin.
The defeat, which was perhaps the lowest point of Steve Clarke’s time in charge, put Scotland on the back foot in their group.
But Wednesday’s brilliant 3-0 win over Ukraine moved the Scots top with just two matches to go.
If Scotland get a result at Hampden tonight, they will face Ukraine in Poland on Tuesday knowing they will be favourites to earn promotion to League A for the first time.

Prediction
Home advantage is crucial in these games, which are often typified by heart and emotion. Scotland lacked all of that in their dismal 3-0 defeat to Ireland in June but Wednesday’s win over Ukraine has restored their confidence, and Hampden will be in full voice because of it. Scotland 2-0 Ireland
