Steve Clarke’s men secured a very late win over Israel at Hampden Park on Saturday so must complete the job with a win against the Faroes now and Moldova next time out.
A 4-0 victory in the reverse fixture at Hampden eight months ago is a positive sign, but the Scots can’t afford to be complacent as they look to qualify for a World Cup for the first time since 1998.
Scotland are currently second in Group E, behind only leaders Denmark, and are now four ahead of play-off spot rivals Israel.
Here’s all you need to know about the game.
