    The momentum could be more important than ever before with this type of short campaign.

    It's a great opportunity tomorrow to get three points on the road and have four points from six games.

    There is a lot to be positive about and to look forward to.

    It's so condensed, you can just focus on yourself really.

    You'll naturally look at other results, but if you do your business, that's all that matters.

    A 0-0 boring draw between Greece and Denmark, that's what I want.

    Who agrees with Mikey?

  7. Postpublished at 12:49 BST 7 September

    Greece or Denmark, who's the better out the two?

    Now that's the question, Thommo.

    The Danes may be top seeds, but we seen how good the Greeks are in the Nations League play-off in March.

    But let's forget about that...

  8. More like it, Mikey...published at 12:47 BST 7 September

    This is a must-win.

    A draw tomorrow is no good.

    Twenty years since Scotland lost to a "minnow" says Richard Gordon... stop this chat now!

    A wasp has just flown right into Thommo's eye.

    The glamour of live radio.

  12. Calm it, Thommopublished at 12:42 BST 7 September

    Richard Gordon has just told the guys Belarus are ranked 97th in the rankings.

    James McFadden thinks Scotland will "have too much" while Steven Thompson has just reminded us of jaunts to Faroe Islands and Georgia...

    Mhmm. He was playing in both, mind.

  13. Postpublished at 12:39 BST 7 September

    A lot of love for Kieron Bowie and Ben Gannon-Doak in Hungary, but there has also been so much praise for Grant Hanley and John Souttar.

    "Immense" and "outstanding" the words often used.

    I'd like to see us be adventurous within the 4-4-2.

    We weren't massively creative, but Ben Gannon-Doak brings just that.

    I'd be surprised if Ben Gannon-Doak and Billy Gilmour don't start.

    Friday was about containment, Monday will provide a chance to for Scotland to be in control of the game.

    I still think Kieron Bowie deserves a shot.

    He's ready and I'm a wee bit disappointed he never got on on Friday.

    He's a handful, has an eye for goal. There is a good case to be made for him.

  18. 'Transformative' Gannon-Doak a goer for Faddypublished at 12:31 BST 7 September

    James McFadden
    Former Scotland forward on Sportsound

    We have the luxury of making changes and changes that don't weaken the team by any stretch.

    The players were exhausted on Friday, there will be guys who haven't played the number of games to get that recovery in.

    The onus is going to be on us to attack the game, which itself is a different ask.

    For me, Billy Gilmour can do that, while we are all desperate to see Ben Gannon-Doak back in starting for Scotland.

    He transformed the Nations League campaign.

    Steven Thompson

    Steve Clarke will already have changes in his mind.

    I fully expect a different line-up.

    I wouldn't mess with the back four but I'd like to see him freshen things up middle to top.

    Steve Clarke sure surprised us on Friday, the lads are now discussing the decisions he has to make tomorrow against Belarus...
