Scotland are just 90 minutes away from making history. Steve Clarke's side head into their final World Cup Group C clash with Brazil knowing a place in the knockout stages for the first time ever is within touching distance.
What's at stake for Scotland
A famous victory would guarantee passage to the last 32, while even a draw - or a narrow defeat depending on results elsewhere - would likely be enough to keep the fairytale run going. But how do you tackle the five-time world champions? Should Clarke throw caution to the wind and go after a famous result, or stick with the disciplined approach that has brought Scotland to the brink of a landmark achievement?
The return of Ben Gannon-Doak has sparked calls for a more attacking game plan, while there are also big decisions to be made at centre-back, in midfield and up front.
Keith Jackson's XI
Keith Jackson believes Clarke's decision to unleash Gannon-Doak suggests a positive approach. He said: "The worry was that Steve Clarke would revert to type and send out a team with nothing more than damage limitation in mind. The fact that he has made up his mind to unleash Ben Gannon-Doak on the Brazilians suggests very strongly otherwise." Jackson added: "Why not go the full hog now and start with Lawrence Shankland as well? If we have our best creative talent and our best finisher on the pitch then we might make a decent fight of this." His predicted XI: Gunn, Patterson, Hendry, McKenna, Robertson, Ferguson, McLean, McGinn, McTominay, Gannon-Doak, Shankland.
Scott McDermott's XI
Scott McDermott expects Scotland to be more adventurous but warns about Brazil's attacking threat. He said: "Even though Carlo Ancelotti has a few injuries to contend with, they should still be too strong for us, especially in attack. If players like Neymar and Endrick come into the side, they'll cause us big problems." He emphasised the importance of not damaging goal difference. His XI: Gunn, Patterson, Hendry, McKenna, Robertson, Ferguson, McLean, Gannon-Doak, McTominay, McGinn, Shankland.
Graeme Young's XI
Graeme Young opts for changes, including Scott McKenna for recovery pace. He said: "Changes aplenty and Scott McKenna can give us more recovery pace than Grant Hanley. Kenny McLean brings added grit in the engine room. Lyndon Dykes is always at his best with a partner, which is why pairing Lawrence Shankland with Scott McTominay in and around him feels the right call." His XI: Gunn, Patterson, McKenna, Hendry, Robertson, Ferguson, McLean, McGinn, McTominay, Gannon-Doak, Shankland.
Michael Gannon's XI
Michael Gannon highlights a decision at right-back, with Anthony Ralston a possibility. He said: "Clarke has a decision to make at right back and it could be Anthony Ralston who gets the nod – and a reunion with his old pal Neymar." He believes Clarke might settle for a narrow defeat. His XI: Gunn, Ralston, Hendry, Hanley, Robertson, McGinn, Christie, Ferguson, McTominay, Gannon-Doak, Adams.
Fraser Wilson's XI
Fraser Wilson favours a 4-2-3-1 or 4-5-1 formation for balance. He said: "The old 4/2/3/1 or 4/5/1 gives us the best balance between being difficult to break down but with real threats going forward. With Doak the explosive out ball to get in behind on the right, McTominay crashing the box from an advanced midfield role and Shankland as our link-man and best finisher." His XI: Gunn, Patterson, Hendry, Hanley, Robertson, Ferguson, Christie, Doak, McTominay, McGinn, Shankland.
Ryan McDonald's XI
Ryan McDonald warns against gung-ho tactics. He said: "Scotland fans crying out for Steve Clarke to throw caution to the wind are set for a reality check - this won't be the time or the place for gung-ho football." He expects Gannon-Doak to provide a counter-attacking outlet. His XI: Gunn, Patterson, Hanley, Hendry, Robertson, Gannon-Doak, Christie, McGinn, Tierney, McTominay, Adams.
