Steve Clarke’s men go into the match on the back of a 1-0 win over Moldova on Saturday that has left them third in the Group F table, a point ahead of tonight’s opponents, who suffered a heavy 5-2 defeat in Israel at the weekend.
Clarke will be forced into making at least one change to his starting XI after full-back Nathan Patterson, who made his first senior start against Moldova, withdrew from the squad due to injury along with Kenny McLean and Ryan Fraser, with Paul McGinn called up as the only replacement.
