The Tartan Army the Scottish national team will travel to Karaikakis Stadium in Attica in Greece ,in their quest to secure a place in the 2026 Mundial in North America when they renew hostilities with Greece in the penultimate match on Saturday night .
After a 3-1 drubbing in Glasgow against Greece , the Scottish national team will be looking for a double over their hosts in the qualifying campaign .
After an unconvincing win against minnows Belarus , 2-1 ,which was greeted with audible boos and scattered applause at the end of hostilities infront of an unimpressed Hampden crowd last month,to a 100th ranked Belarusian team
It was a nightmarish evening for head Coach Steve Clarke who has been in charge for the 72th time , with a head scratcher of a performance , where the Tartan Army could not live up to their pre match billing , but rather managed a scrappy 2-1 that.left the Manager as disappointed as ever for the past six year s he has been in charge .
All the same , a back to back victory against Belarus and Greece gave them 10 points at the summit of Group C with Denmark and a guarantee of a play off ,but the target still remains an automatic qualification to clear their 27 year absence from the Mundial
The Tartan Army ranked 38th in FIFA are now preparing for the fourth meeting in 2025 with Greece with their aforementioned victory last month preceded by a 3-1 aggregate rough riding of Greece in the Uefa Nations League play offs in March .after an away win in Greece courtesy of Mc -Tomminay penalty .
A victory on Saturday will keep their qualifying hopes alive before Tuesday s make or mar pivotal clash against Denmark and would also extend their away unbeaten run to six , their longest since a nine game unbeaten run between September 1999 and April , 2001 .
The Sky blue and white away win against Scotland in March was the first of four victories in their kitty in a a row across all competitions which they a scored 17 goals in total , netting five of them in a 5-1 pummelling of minnows , Belarus in their opening Group C match two months ago .
The Greek hopes of qualifying for next year’s Mundial , since 2014 they last appeared is over , having lost each of their last three games in Group C ,conceding nine goals and slipping to the third place on the table , leaving with only seven points adrift of the top two teams , and with only two matches left to play .
Their loss to Scotland at Hamden Park last month was their greatest undoing , when they slipped from a one goal lead , allowing the Tartan Army to have a better part of the game after 60 minutes with an extra Terrestrial come back of three goals from Ryan Christie, Lewis Ferguson and Lindon Dykes to seal a victory at home 3-1 , at Hamden Park for the Tartan Army , three days before Ivan Jovanovic side lost by same margin to Denmark .
The Greek ranked 48th in FIFA , are only playing for pride as their qualifying wings have been clipped beyond redemption as a win or loss in their two remaining matches makes no difference with their current position in Group C .including a Christmas as well as a favourable trip to Belarus next Tuesday .
They will try to avoid four consecutive defeats in a row in this World Cup qualifying campaign for the first time since 1973 World Cup qualifying games .
The Greek national Manager has injected new blood to the national squad , but his choices may be coming raeher too late at this time , former Hibernian midfielder , Nectarios Triantis born in Australia but who plys his fooball trade in US Major League Soccer for Minnesota United is in contention to make his international debut .
Uncapped , 18 year old , Charalampos Kostolas of Brighton and Hoves Albion in the English Premeiship League is also part of the squad to face the Tartan Army
Together with Benfica s Vangelis Pavildos is expected to play together with Kostas Tsimiskas , Tasos Bakatesas , Christos Tzolis ,and Ofysseas Vlachodimos are all avaiiable for today’s encounter, the later hoping to eat his fifth Cap .

Brstitol City defender Ross Mcroire and Udinese midfielder ,Lennon Miller have both withdrawn due to injury .
Napoli s Billy Gilmour will be at the dugout due to injury but will be available for Tuesday s clash with Denmark
Head Coach ,Clarke is likely to hand over a starting shirt for goal tender for the Tartan Army to 42 year Craig Gordin despite his being a second choice keeper for Hearts of Scotland which will mark his 82nd Cap for Scotland , while first choice keeper is still recvering from injury .
Ferguson , McTomminy and John McGinn will be available for today’s hostilities in the engine room or mid field pack.wbile Sierre A s star Che Adams who have started in the last four matches will hope to return his position upfront ahead of Dykes and Lawrence Shankland .
Predictions .
On paper , Scotland’s hopes of a straight ticket for the World Cup in 2026 rests on the Danes match against weeping boys , Belarus , as football pundits hopes for a straight win against Belarus from Denmark .
Though Greece has a record of striking first in all their five out of their seven opening matches so far but could not sustain it to get an outright victory in most of their games . , but all the same the Scottish team will be fired up with the zeal for a straight qualification , not withstanding the outcome of the match between Denmark and Belarus .
Greece 1-3 Scotland or 2-1 or 1-4.
