Scotland and Curacao’s preparations for the World Cup intensify as the two sides meet in a pre-tournament friendly at Hampden Park.
Steve Clarke’s side face a tricky group in North America, with fixtures against Brazil and Morocco, and will be looking to build momentum ahead of their World Cup return after nearly 30 years.
Curacao, meanwhile, have qualified for the first time and recently re-appointed veteran manager Dick Advocaat to steer their debut campaign.
Germany, the Ivory Coast and Ecuador are their Group E opponents come the tournament proper and they will hope for a strong showing in their first meeting with Scotland.
Here’s everything you need to know.
When is Scotland vs Curacao?
Scotland vs Curacao is due to kick off at 1pm BST on Saturday 30 May at Hampden Park in Glasgow.
How can I watch it?
Viewers in the United Kingdom can watch the match live on BBC One Scotland, with coverage from 12.30pm BST. A live stream will be available via the BBC iPlayer and BBC Sport website.
Team news
Both nations have named their 26-man squads for the World Cup, and will be hoping to give match minutes to plenty of those included. Grant Hanley was withdrawn during Hibernian’s final Scottish Premiership game as a precaution after an injury-hit season and the veteran defender could well feature.
Livano Comenencia and Kenji Gorre are nursing knocks for Curacao and may not be risked. The Bacuna brothers should start – Leandro is the captain of the side, while Juninho is back in the city where he spent a short spell with Rangers.
Possible line-ups
Scotland XI: Gunn; Patterson, Hendry, McKenna, Tierney; Gilmour, McLean, Christie; Gannon-Doak, Shankland, McGinn.
Curacao XI: Room; Sambo, Van Eijma, Obispo, Floranus; L. Bacuna, Roemeratoe, J. Bacuna; Hansen, Locadia, Chong.
