Anyone heading to Hampden tomorrow night for the last game of these World Cup qualifiers?
It has the potential to be played out like a friendly - Croatia can't win the group but are guaranteed a play-off place and we can't get either. In saying that though, a win for Croatia would mean they'd go into the qualifiers with a bit more confidence as they haven't won any of their last three games and a win for us guarantees that we can't finish bottom of the group.
I don't think Strachan will let our boys play it out at a low tempo and he'd be delighted to the double over them. This campaign has been a write off for a while now but there does seem to have been signs of progress since he came in so to round off the group with a good win would hopefully put us in a good position ahead of th Euro 2016 qualifiers.
Interesting to see who we go with upfront too with their being no Fletcher or Rhodes available - left with Naismith, Griffiths, Boyd & McCormack.
Looking forward to the game anyway - hopefully we can put in a good shift and end with a decent result.
