It is not a stretch to suggest there is not a Scottish person under the age of 30 who remembers seeing the men's national team play at a World Cup.

France 98 - kilts, Brazil, Craig Burley's teeth against Norway, and the Morocco debacle - might not feel all that long ago to some. But to others, it might as well have never happened.

And so here we are again, Scotland embarking on a World Cup qualifying campaign that could end what would be a 28-year wait to reach the finals.

Denmark, Greece and Belarus stand between Steve Clarke's side and a place in the United States, Canada and Mexico next summer.

Win the group - six matches over the next two months - and they'll be there. Finish second, and they still have a sniff through the play-offs.

With that in mind, how should Scotland play it? Imagine you were the head coach -what would your approach be?

We're asking you to select your XI, map out your tactics, and deliver the pre-match team talk...

First the good news. The squad is stronger than it has been for a while.

Aaron Hickey, Ryan Christie, Ben Gannon-Doak and Lyndon Dykes are back after significant injury breaks to bolster a pool that also includes Ballon d'Or nominee Scott McTominay, Napoli team-mate Billy Gilmour, and proven Premier League performers such as Andy Robertson and John McGinn.

However, there are question marks over who plays in goal, the centre-back combination, who leads the line, and even the shape of the team.

Don't envy you trying to pick the best XI to get the job done in Copenhagen...

So you've mulled over your options and decided on your team and approach.

Now it's time to deliver those final words of wisdom to the squad. What are you going to say to rouse them for the occasion?
