Scotland need a win over Poland for a chance of second in our Nations League group, will they get it?

Keith Jackson: Fingers crossed, yes. There’s something good happening with Steve Clarke and his group right now – even despite the recent long bruising run – and a win in Warsaw would further confirm it.

Andy Newport: Let’s be confident and say yes. Winning in Warsaw will be a tough ask but the Poles are struggling having managed just one win in their last eight games. Take our chances and we’re in with a shot.

Michael Gannon: It’ll be another close game and Scotland will need to produce their second-half display against Croatia rather than the first. If they do that, they can sneak a narrow victory and see where that takes us.

What line-up should Steve Clarke send to Warsaw?

Keith Jackson: He’ll want John McGinn back in the starting XI and that may mean Ryan Christie drops to the bench. Lyndon Dykes is likely to take over in attack instead of Tommy Conway. Scott McKenna might get the nod ahead of Grant Hanley.

Andy Newport: I can’t see Clarke making too many changes. McGinn will return likely in place of Christie and he’ll want Dykes to bring some physicality up top but other than that it will be as you were.

Michael Gannon: Pretty much the same as Croatia but with McGinn back in the starting line-up.

Ben Doak is proving if you’re good enough, you’re old enough. Time to give Lennon Miller a chance?

Keith Jackson: Miller isn’t going to start ahead of the midfielders Clarke has in his squad. But the sooner he’s welcomed into the fold the better. He’s going to be a Scotland stalwart for a decade or so.

Andy Newport: The kid certainly deserves an opportunity to prove if he’s ready for this level. And judging by the way he’s taken to life in the Premiership, I’d be in no way shocked if he passes the test with flying colours.

Michael Gannon: Absolutely. He’s played more than 50 games for Motherwell and numerous times against Celtic and Rangers. Get him in, give him a taste and look to the future.

Mike Tyson lost his scrap with YouTuber Jake Paul. Where does it leave the ex-champ’s legacy?

Keith Jackson: It makes him look like a silly old man but it changes nothing in terms of what he achieved in the ring in his heyday. This utter farce of a fight should never have been sanctioned in the first place.

Andy Newport: No-one will remember that farce in a few years’ time. What won’t be forgotten is the remarkable story of a once brilliant boxer who battled some of the fight game’s biggest stars as well as his own personal flaws.

Michael Gannon: Unaffected. Tyson will always be remembered as an incredible, explosive young fighter who went off the rails out of the ring and lost his spark in it. Making a few quid for an exhibition changes nothing but his bank account.
