Belarus' Spanish boss Carlos Alos insists there is no reason why they cannot stun football and reach the World Cup in Scotland's group.
The former Soviet nation open their campaign with a trip to Greece at the same time as Scotland kick off with a crunch game in Denmark.
They then play Scotland in their 'home' game, which will be played in Hungary.
Belarus are rated as the weakest team in the group by far, but Alos is convinced they have the tools to shock the big guns in the section.

He said: "People may not believe me, but I promise that we think we can win every game in this group.
"We want to qualify for the World Cup for the first time and I believe we have the players who can do this.
"As manager, I have set a goal for us to qualify.
"Success for us would be reaching the play-offs, but I am aiming to win the group.
"What's the point of playing for draws in the games against Greece and Scotland? We will be trying to get six points after the opening two games."
