Steve Clarke’s men are aiming to put Friday’s humiliating 4-0 defeat to the Netherlands behind them against fellow UK opposition. Not since 1983 have the Tartan Army tasted defeat to Northern Ireland when goals from Norman Whiteside and Sammy McIlroy earned a 2-0 win at Windsor Park.

Since then, Scotland have earned three wins and a draw, with the most recent fixture taking place at Hampden Park in 2015. Christophe Berra proved the hero that day and Clarke’s side will fancy their chances of extending that unbeaten run.

Scotland are preparing for consecutive Euro campaigns for the first time in their history - creating a fever pitch of excitement across the country. GlasgowWorld has profiled how fans can tune in to the Northern Ireland clash.
