IT has only been a month since Scotland last played.
But Steve Clarke‘s Scotland stars have been waiting a lifetime to finally avenge their Nations League heartache against Greece.
The wait is almost over, though, as Scotland prepare to face the Greeks again this week for the first time since the calamity at Hampden just shy of eight months ago.
Greece overcame a 1-0 defeat in Athens to thrash Scotland with a 3-0 victory in Glasgow to win the Nations League play-off after the Tartan Army finished bottom of their League A group.
The Tartan Army will feature in League B in the next campaign after Greece leapfrogged them to take a spot among the elite.
But will the Tartan Army avenge that shock defeat at Hampden with a huge result in World Cup qualifying on Thursday night?

Steve Clarke has a big decision to make in attack after going with two different systems for the games against Denmark and Belarus.

Aaron Hickey is expected to return to the starting lineup after being rested against Belarus last time out.
Celtic duo Kieran Tierney and Anthony Ralston could feature after dropping out of the last squad with injuries.
