Scotland vs Iceland preview
Scotland return to action for the first time since that desperately disappointing relegation in the Nations League back in March.
The away win in Greece showed a real quality, real steely display which highlighted a terrific backbone in the Scots spine.
The 3-0 loss at Hampden a few days later showed the ugly side of Scotland and highlighted a need for major change in the squads moving forward.
It looked a team with Serie A and Premier League winning quality, playing alongside English League One subs. And that’s exactly what it was.
So it’s refreshing to see a few new names this time round and there’s a huge chance for some of those to stake a claim to be involved regularly moving forward.
World Cup qualification begins in September with Denmark, Belarus and Greece – again – to come.
So even though it’s an international week that nobody wants or asked for, these two games are important for Steve Clarke and these players ahead of those crunch games.
Iceland were also relegation in March, dropping into League C at the hands of Kosovo who are into League B after that 5-2 aggregate result.

Scotland vs Iceland prediction
Scott to be
Team news will be interesting here but if Steve Clarke looks to go strong, we can only look at one man.
Scott McTominay couldn’t have dreamt of a better end to the season, scoring in the final game of the Serie A season to help clinch the title for Napoli.
Judging by pictures and videos from Italy, it looks as though he’s not stopped partying since, receiving God status from the locals.
If McFratm can put the cigarettes and alcohol down for a little while, he’s Scotland’s big hope and we’re looking at him to drag us through again.
