A win or draw at Seville's Estadio La Cartuja on Thursday, October 12, would see the Scots through to a major tournament - even a loss could do the trick if Norway fail to win in Cyprus.
It's the latest chapter in an inspirational qualifying campaign that has seen the team win five out of five games and sit atop qualifying Group A on 15 points, a run that included a memorable 2-0 win over Spain at Hampden.
But if there was any doubt of how tough a challenge they face taking on Spain in their own backyard, a glance at the match odds will provide a sobering experience.
Here are the bookies' 12 most likely results - and the odds of them happening.

It may come as a surpise to Scottish fans that the bookies even see a 3-0 Spanish win more likely that a draw - never mind a Scottish win. It's the third most favoured result, priced at 13/2. | Getty Images
