    Surely Scotland must take three points if they have designs on making the World Cup 2018 finals.

    Might be one of those nights when we all have to be patient as Scotland search for a breakthrough. Will be good to hear the fans. They've been drowned out so far by the PA music. Although...stand by with that Bits and Pieces....

  9. Anthem timepublished at 19:43

    Scotland v Lithuania (19:45 BST)

    The teams are out on the lush Hampden turf amid an almighty din at the National Stadium. Thunderous music gives it a kind of Hitman & Her feel; no sign, though, of Michaela Strachan or Pete Waterman. National anthem time; and it's the Lithuanian version first.

    It's time for the final preparations inside the dressing room. An unchanged Scotland tells of consistency and the manager's confidence in his players, but strong cases would be made for James McArthur in midfield, and Leigh Griffiths or Steven Fletcher up front. 

    Even so, that means there is strength on the bench in case Scotland need to take command of this game in a different way. Gordon Strachan felt it would have been foolish to have acknowledged it before the game, but this is a must-win encounter for his Scotland side...

    Scotland v Lithuania (19:45 BST)

    To say the music at Hampden is loud would be an understatement. The ground is shaking back here at Pacific Quay Towers. We shudder to think what it'll sound like if Scotland score...

    Not long until kick-off now. Can Gordon Strachan's men make it two wins from two games in World Cup qualifying Group F?
