Scotland will hope to earn their first win under Sébastien Pocagnoli as they take on Switzerland in the Nations League on Tuesday night.
Pocagnoli took over from Steve Clarke after Scotland's disappointing World Cup campaign and saw his side hold on to a 0-0 draw against Slovenia in his first game in charge.
Now they must face the daunting task of a Switzerland side who pushed runners-up Argentina all the way in the World Cup quarterfinals.
They began their Nations League with a resounding 3-0 win over North Macedonia to take control of League B, Group 1.
A side that always packs a punch, they are looking to return to League A and will be hoping to make the next step to achieving that with a win over Scotland.

Talking Points
Pocognoli looks to impress in first home clash
Scotland began life under Pocognoli with a 0-0 draw in Ljubljana and he will now prepare his side for their first match on home soil.
After making significant changes to his squad, a clash with Switzerland, who are ranked 14th in the world, 28 places above Scotland, represents a major test of what Pocagnoli and his new-look squad is all about.
The Belgian will be desperate to impress the Tartan Army in Glasgow and he will be even more desperate not to go two matches without scoring, after failing to breach the Slovenia net.
Scotland scored just once in the World Cup before their timid exit and Pocagnoli will be desperate for his side to get on the scoresheet and make a good impression against a side with far more European pedigree than themselves.
Switzerland aim to take stranglehold of group
After a desperately disappointing 2024-25 Nations League campaign, in which Scotland were relegated from League A with just two points from their six matches, they will be absolutely desperate to bounce straight back to the top table.
They were completely dominant against North Macedonia, winning 3-0 without key players Granit Xhaka and Breel Embolo, who are both ruled out due to forged Covid tests.
A win over Scotland on Tuesday night at Hampden Park and you feel as though Switzerland will already have one foot back in League A.
What do the numbers say?
- The two sides drew 1-1 in the 2024 Euros, but it was Switzerland who ran out winners the last time this fixture was played in Glasgow, winning 3-1 in March 2006.
- Scotland have failed to score in each of their last three competitive matches, losing 1-0 to Morocco, 3-0 to Brazil and drawing 0-0 with Slovenia.
- Scotland currently sit second in Nations League Group B1, in a group which also contains North Macedonia and Slovenia.
- The group winner automatically earns promotion to League A, while the second placed team will enter the promotion playoffs.
