Scotland will look to strengthen their position in Group C and their chances of making the 2026 World Cup when they take on bottom-placed Belarus in the qualifiers on Sunday at Hampden Park.
In an encouraging start to their campaign, Scotland have scored two wins and a draw in their three World Cup qualifying games so far. Chasing their first World Cup appearance since 1998, Scotland are currently second in the group and level on points with leaders Denmark.
While only the top team in the group will be guaranteed a spot in next year's World Cup, the team coming in second will contend for a spot via the playoffs. A stirring 3-1 win over Greece on Thursday has put Scotland in line for a top-two finish.
Belarus, on the other hand, are winless and languishing at the bottom of the group. They have only managed one goal so far, which came against Greece. In their first clash with Scotland, they went down 0-2 at home.
The Sporting News looks at the key details ahead of this game, including how to watch the match, kickoff times and the weekly schedule.
