The Austria lowdown

Scotland are playing Tuesday night’s opponents after they lost the chance to qualify for the World Cup with a 2-1 away defeat to Wales in their play-off semi-final. Gareth Bale netted twice for the hosts in the first half, which was too big an obstacle for the visitors to overcome despite Marcel Sabitzer pulling one back midway through the second half.

Previous meeting

Scotland won 1-0 in Austria thanks to a Lyndon Dykes penalty in what would herald a turnaround in fortunes in the World Cup qualification group. It was the second in a six-game winning run which would see the national team take second place and earn a play-off spot.

What Steve Clarke said

After Thursday’s draw with Poland: “We have another game in Tuesday night in Vienna we want to go there and get back on the winning run again.

"They are disappointed to not win that game and I think we did enough and I thought we deserved to win the game but we move on."

"It was a good performance, some decent chances in the first half, maybe not so many in the second. We got ourselves into a lot of good positions.”
