Quote MessageWe're always optimistic at the start of the group. We want to qualify consistently for tournaments and we have a real chance to set down a marker tonight.
While kick off at Hampden is not until 19:45, Group F is already alive and kicking.

Austria goalkeeper Daniel Bachmann is excited by the prospect of facing Scotland tonight - and not just because he could earn his first cap.
"I'm looking forward to seeing Steve Clarke again," he told BBC Scotland. "I already spoke to Greg Taylor too, whom I obviously played with at Kilmarnock. It'll be nice to see them."

Bachmann remembers his season in Ayrshire very fondly, and why wouldn't he?
On loan from Watford in season 2018-19 - where he's now established himself as first-choice goalkeeper - he helped Kilmarnock secure third place and European qualification with a club-record points tally.
"He's very quiet, almost like a bit of an introvert but in a good way," Bachmann says of Scotland coach Clarke. "I really enjoyed working under him."

Quote MessageYou're the third seeds in the group and only one automatically qualifies. You can't experiment, you have to hit the ground running. I think it's going to be tough and Steve Clarke will have a headache in terms of team selection.

Scotland are in World Cup qualifying Group F. Apart from tonight's opponents, they'll also play:
Following tonight's match at home to Austria, the Scots face a trip to Israel on 28 March before it's back to Hampden to host Faroe Islands three days later.
Do you think Steve Clarke's troops can qualify from this group? Thumbs up for yes and thumbs down for, let's not go there...

We'll set the scene at Hampden [on Sportsound] and get the team news confirmed, then really ramp up the build-up to the big kick-off at 19:45.
It's a chance to lay down a marker against one of the real [Group F] opponents. It's going to be a tough group, let's hope we're all bouncing around like we were back in November...

Still riding the crest of a wave after securing a place at this summer's Euro 2020 finals, Steve Clarke's Scotland are gearing up for their tilt at the World Cup.

"We want to have a continued period of success," said Clarke.
"The squad that's here is focused completely on the World Cup games because they are the most important. We've said since we qualified for the Euros that we didn't want to be one-tournament wonders."
Tonight, the Scots host Austria at Hampden.

Is Yes Sir, I Can Boogie still ringing in your ears when you think of Scotland?
Baccara's 1970s classic provided the musical backdrop to Scotland ending their major finals famine - stretching back to France 98 - when they qualified for the Euro 2020 finals following a nerve-shredding penalty shootout victory in Serbia.

That night last November seems like a lifetime ago and the national side is gearing up for another qualification tilt - this time aiming for the stars and the 2022 World Cup.
Ready? Excellent, let's get things going...
