Steve Clarke’s men will begin to reach the 2026 showpiece in USA, Canada and Mexico in early September.
The two friendly clashes over the course of the next week will be the final preparations for the national team on the pitch before those qualifiers.
Before facing Liechtenstein next week, it’s Iceland up first.
Scotland had found a good run of form, ending a horror run by going four games unbeaten.
A run of three wins in a row came to a shuddering halt with a 3-0 home defeat to Greece that consigned Clarke’s side to Nations League relegation.
So these two upcoming matches will give the Scots a chance to build some momentum once again ahead of September.
There are several players looking to earn their first cap and look to make an impact ahead of those big games coming up too.
SunSport has all you need to know ahead of the big game.

Latest team news
Many of Scotland’s biggest stars are part of the squad at the end of a hectic campaign.
Those include captain Andy Robertson and Scott McTominay, who both tasted league title glory in England and Italy respectively.
Nobody has, at the time of writing, pulled out of the squad that was named by Steve Clarke.
Goalkeeper Angus Gunn is back in the squad and likely to start but Craig Gordon is out.
Hibs striker Kieron Bowie’s excellent form earned him a first Scotland call-up and he’ll be one of the uncapped players hoping for a debut.
Connor Barron, Andy Irving, Lennon Miller, Josh Doig, Robby McCrorie and Cieran Slicker will also be eyeing a first international cap.
Former Burnley winger Johann Berg Gudmundsson and ex-Cardiff man Aron Gunnarsson are among the more familiar names in Arnar Gunnlaugsson’s squad.
Gunnlaugsson, who as only appointed Iceland boss this year, had a brief spell in Scottish football as a player with Dundee United in the 2002-03 season.
Iceland’s danger man is striker Albert Gudmundsson.
The 27-year old has 10 goals 39 caps for his country and spent last season on loan at Fiorentina from Serie A rivals Genoa.
