Any points we get from these two games will be a bit of a bonus, to be honest.

one point at most, will watch the Russia game in the boozer with a few lads in hope rather than expectation but fook watching the Belgium game - just hoping no Tic players get injured tbh

You are speaking on behalf of Rangers fans there when you pretend to care about the Scottish national side.

I still care. I will always support Scotland. I don't care what club team the manager was previously at or played for, I don't care what team the players play for or played for.

I support Scotland.

Is qualification tough? Absolutely. We are where we are as a nation. Do we just stop supporting them because we can't win anything?

We still have the Nations league as a chance to qualify as well. Good performances and results in the qualifiers despite how insignificant they may end up to be can really give a lift in confidence ahead of the Nations League.

My gripe with national football is the ticket price. Given that the games are at Hampden a lot of seats would normally be filled with fairly local fans. However having paid for season book, Champions and Europa League qualifiers, Europe League group tickets shortly, league cup tickets then to expect fans to pay top dollar for these games is ridiculous. If the SFA reduced the prices then they'd fill the stadium. Now it will be a 3/4 full stadium against two of the top sides in the world.

The interest has dwindled as we've been schite for so long. Guys aged 25 have never seen Scotland at a tournament FFS, alive maybe but they won't remember it.

So we have a generation that have never been really excited by their country, it shows with the lack of interest in internationals especially from the young.

I used to go to the games with my mates, none of us go anymore. Too many times we've been let down when it mattered, loads of the players can't even be ersed.

It's now up to the team to win the fans back by doing something and the Nations League is that chance but as for this qualifying the sooner we are out of our misery the better.

4 points puts us in a decent position, 6 would be unbelievable but I suspect it’ll be 3 points.

I think we’ll win on Friday and get beat on Monday and if you offered Steve Clarke that right now he’d probably take it.

call sign

got a party on Friday so will miss the game but I'm going on Monday, not expecting anything but looking forward to it.

I'd go

Marshall

O'Donnell
Cooper
Mulgrew
Robertson

Forrest
McGinn
McTominay
McGregor
Fraser

Christie

We'll get narrowly beaten by Russia and f@cked senseless by Belgium.

I've got a gig on so I won't be watching it. Probably just as well.

Would he though?

3 points isn't enough in the grand scheme after the Kazakhstan debacle. Come out of this with 3 points and we are still in big trouble.

I don’t like the national team since we stopped booing Rangers players.

Russia play an already qualified Belgium in the final fixture. We play Cyprus away. We all know what will happen if we are in a position to go through.

It sometimes makes me sad that my interest in the national team has dwindled. I used to get really excited about the games, and some of my best football memories are of Scotland games (Paris, Amsterdam, Italy).

Now I didn't even know the game was on Friday. I wouldn't have been 100% certain who we were playing.

Loads of reasons for it, but one of the biggest was the way they ripped the games away from Saturday's. Stopped me going to the games and my interest fell from there.

Good luck to the team and I hope they win, but my interest is minimal now.

Where would Scotland finish in the English PL?

i like to see Scotland play well, and i watch the games.

given a choice i'd prefer club football eveyday of the week though.

I'll always support Scoand, I'm Scottish and a fitba fan do whilst I've been disappointed at results and often performances they'll still get my backing, maybe lucky enough to remember the halcyon days of world Cup qualification on the 70s and also hardly any live fitba on TV so it was big news when they playedback then and expectations were higher also but still always watch and HOPE for a result<ok'>

Would play Christie right up front

Marshall
O’Donnell Cooper Mulgrew Robertson
J.McGinn McTom McGregor
Forrest Christie Fraser

The move from Saturdays has been a complete nightmare, who wants to take time of work then travel the length of Scotland on a Tuesday to play Cyprus and the like.

Blame Sky.

Marshall

O’Donnell
Cooper
Mulgrew
Robertson

McGregor
McGinn

Forrest
Christie
Fraser

Naismith

Striking options are absolutely woeful.

Its the clubs that are too blame. They have made players pull out of international football to protect their asset and that has devalued it.

It used to be a honour to represent your country now its considered an annoyance.

Crazy mulgrew is still one of our better options

both standard timmy comments...

Sam Cosgrove needs to find a Scottish granny somewhere
