Scotland travel to Austria tonight as Steve Clarke’s side continue their preparations for their delayed World Cup play-off semi-final.
Russia’s invasion of Ukraine meant that Scotland’s home fixture against the country was postponed, with Scotland instead playing out a 1-1 draw with Poland at Hampden on Thursday.
If they beat Ukraine in the rescheduled play-off match, which is likely to take place in June, Scotland will play Wales for the World Cup after Gareth Bale inspired his side to a 2-1 win over Austria in Cardiff.
Scotland, who were scheduled to face the loser of the Thursday’s tie, faced Austria twice in the European qualifiers and won 1-0 in Vienna last September.
Here’s everything you need to know before the match tonight.

The match will kick off at 7:45pm BST on Tuesday 29 March in Vienna, Austria.
