The Scots are set for a major reshuffle as striker Che Adams (injury), goalkeeper Robby McCrorie (hip injury), James Forrest and Greg Taylor have dropped out of the squad.

Steve Clarke could hand senior team debuts to Rangers midfielder Connor Barron and Vancouver Whitecaps midfielder Ryan Gauld. Sturm Graz right-back Max Johnston has also been selected for the first time.

With Adams out, either Lawrence Shankland or Lyndon Dykes is likely to lead the attack.

Poland will be without veterans Kamil Grosicki and Wojciech Szczesny, who have retired from international duty, with the stepping away from football altogether. They will also miss the services of Juventus striker Arkadiusz Milik who is out with injury.

Bologna's Lukasz Skorupski is expected to take over as goalkeeper, while Piotr Zielinski is likely to play in midfield. Captain Robert Lewandowski will lead the attack along with Karol Swiderski

Scotland vs. Poland prediction

With both teams missing some key players, this match is likely to be a tight and competitive contest. The last three encounters between Scotland and Poland have all ended in draws.

Scotland have gone four games without a win, while Poland are winless in their last three matches, failing to keep a clean sheet in their last four across all competitions. But Poland have a quality striker in Lewandowski, which gives them the edge.

Prediction: Scotland 0-1 Poland
