Scotland know they must take all three points against Croatia this week if they are to stand a chance of surviving in Section A of the UEFA Nations League.
Steve Clarke's side have endured a difficult 2024, and that hasn't changed since the Euros with defeats to Portugal, Poland and Croatia.
Last time out, Cristiano Ronaldo, Bruno Fernandes et al were halted in their tracks by the Scots, as they claimed their first point of the Nations League campaign.
They trail Poland by three points in the group, so, Scotland need to beat Croatia and hope that Portugal can get one over the Poles.
This would set up next week's trip to Poland nicely, with the possibility of even finishing second still alive.
Here's everything you need to know about Scotland vs Croatia...
When is Scotland vs Croatia?
Scotland take on Croatia this week on Friday, November 15.
The match is scheduled to kick-off at 7.45pm.
The game will be played at Hampden Park.
Is Scotland vs Croatia on TV and can I live stream it?
The game will NOT be showcased live on television.
The Scottish FA has confirmed that, much like last month, the games will be beamed to fans for FREE via the Scotland National Team or Viaplay International YouTube accounts.
This will be the only way to live stream it, but we'll bring you the latest when this is confirmed.
More than 1.5m fans watched the last double-header in October, against Croatia and Portugal, on the Scotland National Team Official YouTube channel and rights holders Viaplay will again produce and host the broadcast.
Rory Hamilton will commentate on Friday’s match from Hampden Park, with Andy Bargh behind the mic for the final group game away to Poland on Monday.
Team news
Well, we know that Che Adams and Lewis Morgan won't be involved in the camp after pulling out on Tuesday.
Stuart Armstrong has been drafted in as the lone replacement for the pair.
Aside from that, the squad should all be good to go, with the likes of John McGinn, Scott McKenna and Jack Hendry all back involved.
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!
