Scotland keen to shape own destiny ahead of crucial World Cup qualifiers
""Knowing that you can get there, it all feeds in, it all feeds in on top of the players and the individuals progressing at their clubs. Definitely the confidence is as high as I've seen. In the first camp, we've done a lot of good work. This camp we need to continue that to make sure we're in that position in November so that we're really confident it's in our own hands and we believe we can do it.""
""That we've managed to do two Euros, to get to the play-offs for the previous World Cup and narrowly miss out - it all builds a determination, an anger for not making the last World Cup.""
""I don't think we've been in a better place in terms of players getting minutes," "For an example of where they're at, look at Aaron Hickey, who's coming back from what's been a torrid couple of years and looking like a different animal.""
Scotland aims for maximum points from this month's fixtures to take control of the World Cup qualifying campaign. The team will host Greece on Thursday and Belarus on Sunday. Scotland last reached a World Cup in 1998 and seeks to end more than a quarter-century absence. The side collected four points from the opening two Group C matches and aims to keep qualification fate in its own hands. Squad confidence is high as players progress at their clubs, with improved minutes, depth, fitness and maturity. Aaron Hickey is noted as returning to strong form. Final qualifiers come in November away to Greece and at home to Denmark.
