Scotland will look to build on a hard-earned point in Copenhagen by registering their first win of World Cup qualifying when they take on Belarus tonight.
Steve Clarke’s side began their campaign in encouraging fashion on Friday, putting in a sturdy defensive display to grit out a goalless draw against Denmark.
They now travel to Hungary for their second qualifying outing as they bid to reach their first World Cup finals since 1998.
Belarus could prove the punching bag of Group C, having been thrashed 5-1 by Greece in their opening game last week.

Team news
Belarus could bring German Barkovskiy into the starting XI after providing the only ray of sunshine in a dismal outing against Greece, coming off the bench to score a consolation. It could be one of numerous changes by Carlos Alos as he looks to find a team that can cause some trouble.
Clarke, meanwhile, confirmed that “everyone is fit and ready to go” after their efforts in Copenhagen, but hinted that there could be a couple of changes to the starting XI. New Bournemouth winger Ben Gannon Doak and Napoli midfielder could push for a starting berth, while the likes of Che Adams and Scott McTominay will be expected to keep their places.
