"Looks like Scotland are moving from the 4-4-2 against Denmark back to a more familiar 4-2-3-1. That is Adams leading the line, McTominay in the No 10 role, Doak-Gammon on the left and McGinn on the right wing. Only four players Denis Law (30), Kenny Dalglish (30), Hughie Gallacher (23) and Lawrie Reilly (22) have more goals than McGinn (20), who is a canny presence in that more advanced role."
"Scotland will be wary of Belarusian striker Herman Barkouski, who came off the bench to score Belarus' only goal in the 5-1 defeat to Greece. Standing at 6ft3in, the forward will certainly keep be a physical match for Souttar and McKenna. At the other end, interesting that Clarke has gone with Adams as his No 9 over Dykes. Remember, Scotland also have George Hirst to come off the bench as well. Veteran captain Aleksandr Martynovich will be tasked with marking Adams."
Scotland revert to a 4-2-3-1 with Adams leading the attack and McTominay occupying the No.10 role. Doak-Gammon and McGinn operate on the wings, with McGinn noted for 20 international goals. Billy Gilmour and Lewis Ferguson form the two sitting midfielders ahead of the back four, while Ryan Christie misses out. Lennon Miller and Kieron Bowie are potential bench options. Belarus pose a threat through 6ft3in substitute Herman Barkouski. Clarke made four changes from the Denmark game, including Hanley for McKenna and Johnston for Hickey, and named a full Belarus starting XI.
