Scotland face the Republic of Ireland in the Nations League tonight as Steve Clarke’s side look to move a step closer to promotion to League A.
Scotland were thrashed 3-0 by Ireland in June in one of the lowest points in Clarke’s time in charge.
But they responded with a 4-1 win in Armenia before Wednesday’s 3-0 win over Ukraine moved the Scots top with two fixtures remaining.
Scotland sit two points clear of Ukraine and five ahead of Ireland, whose only victory of the group was the 3-0 win over tonight’s opponents in Dublin.
