The Scotland national team return to action against Poland this week, in what is their first outing following a disappointing Euro 2024 campaign.
Two months have passed since Steve Clarke and his men played in Germany, with the latest edition of the Nations League having now rolled around.
It's a fairly new-looking squad with several of the previous key members absent. It could present a chance to play Ryan Gauld, who has finally been called upon by Clarke.
Here's everything you need to know about the first game of the international break...

Well, we know that Greg Taylor, Robby McCrorie, Che Adams and James Forrest have all dropped out.
They were replaced by Josh Doig, Jon McCracken and Connor Barron.
Clarke will be hoping for no more injury issues between now and the double-header, with an already fresh-looking squad.
Thursday night will be his first match without having Celtic skipper Callum McGregor available, who of course, retired from international football last month.

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
