“Belief will be part of it, obviously we have to get the tactics right," said Scotland manager Steve Clarke at yesterday's media conference.
"The players have to put into practise on the pitch what we have spoken about on the training ground. They have to play to our maximum and belief is a part of that as well.
"We have to play our game as well as we can and I believe that will be good enough to get something from the game.
“They are a very good team. When we played them in March they were probably a little bit in transition between the previous coach and new coach.
"We are improving all the time, we are striving to improve, trying to add little bits to our game that will make us more competitive against the top teams but we understand we still have a bit to go.
"We don’t come here thinking that we have to sit in and defend all night. We have to be as effective with the ball as we were at Hampden."
