Steve Clarke will hope Che Adams finds his scoring touch for Scotland, as they host the Faroe Islands on Wednesday.

Three points in their 2022 World Cup qualifier is a must for the Scots, who have drawn against Austria and Israel so far - both results yielding an admirable point to take, but only if they are followed up with a victory against one of the continent’s weakest sides.

Adams and Ryan Fraser should give plenty of the movement and confidence in the final third which will be required to break down the visitors’ defence, while the Scots’ own defensive resolve under Clarke might also be required at times - the Faroes have scored against both Moldova and Austria in this international break.

Moving on to five points from three matches would represent a solid start to qualification and give Scotland a big boost in the lead-up to Euro 2020, as they look to reach back-to-back major tournaments for the first time since the ‘96 European Championships and France ‘98.
