This is a must-win game for Scotland if they hope to participate in next years World Cup, but Austria will not be an easy game.
Scotland currently sits third in their qualifying group, a point above tonight’s opponents and two points below Isreal. Denmark is cruising with five points to the good at the top of the table.
A win tonight would extend the ga[ between third and fourth place and increase pressure on Israel as both teams fight it out for the second place which will reward in a knock-out round.
Former Celtic players to start tonight are Craig Gordon, Andy Robertson, Kieran Tierney and Jack Hendry.
David Turnbull starts on the bench for Stevie Clarke’s side.
