    5'
    A good kick from Marshall and pressure from O'Donnell down the right wins the Scots a throw deep in Czech territory.
    3'
    A nervy touch from O'Donnell goes out for a Czech throw.
    2'
    Immediately we see the Scottish midfield shape: McTominay shielding with McGinn and Armstrong more advanced. Plenty of early Scotland ball down their left through Robertson, naturally.

    For those that missed the lineups...
    13:27
    Kieran Tierney news from Steve Clarke: "He picked up a little niggle in training, so he's not ready for this one, but hopefully for the next one [against England]."
    13:24
    Football is nothing without fans.

    To reiterate, Scotland are without talismanic defender Kieran Tierney today due to injury.
    13:13
    On the bench for the home side, Che Adams, perhaps their most potent goal threat, will add pace in behind and a poacher's instinct should he be introduced, and Kevin Nisbet, fresh off the back of his quick-fire goal against Holland could also be given a chance to impress. Chelsea's Billy Gilmour is fit enough to make the bench, and could well be introduced should the Scots need a more incisive eye for a pass in the latter stages of the game.
    13:12
    Matej Vydra of Burnley and Pavel Kaderabek of Hoffenheim are other notable names in the Czech squad, and both have places on the bench here. Kaderabek is particularly unlucky to miss out, being a top-quality right-back, but the season that Coufal has had at West Ham makes the selection understandable, particularly when considering the rapport he has struck up with club mate Soucek.
