Scotland vs Japan: Predictions, TV streaming and LIVE updates from World Cup warm up at Hampden

This feels weird, doesn't it?

Scotland fans with the feet up, watching three of the other Home Nations went through the stress and ultimate heartbreak of the World Cup playoffs.

And now it's back to Hampden, safe in the knowledge that the result of today's friendly against Japan doesn't really matter.

In theory, it's chance for Steve Clarke to try some new things out with less than three months until we kick off our World Cup campaign against Haiti in Boston.

In practice, he's not a man for mixing it up so let;;s not expect anything radical against the Samurai Blue.

Findlay Curtis has been drafted in and could make his debut but aside from that, it will be a familair looking Scotland lineup at Hampden.

Daizen Maeda is no stranger to this stadium and you know the Celtic star won't stop running until he's dragged off the pitch.

But hopefully everyone else enters into the spirit of things and we get a nice, straightforward friendly encounter with a few goals and no injuries.
