This is the game that the Tartan Army will have been circling in their calendars when the fixtures were released, but it carries extra weight now.

A point, or even a low-scoring defeat, should be enough to send the Scots into the knock-out stages of the World Cup for the first time in their history.

Steve Clarke's side got the job done against Haiti and then battled hard in a narrow defeat to a strong Morocco side last time out.

But, with Brazil keen to seize top spot in the group, there is the feeling that this will be their biggest test yet.

Scotland v Brazil predictions

Scotland have been a pragmatic side under Steve Clarke and that could be their ticket to the knock-out stages of the World Cup.

The Miami heat is going to make things more difficult but expect a battling defensive performance from the Scots, who may well keep a Brazil side struggling for fluency quiet.

They will get a chance or two themselves, someone – we're looking at you Scott McTominay – needs to step up and take it. If they can, this could one of the most famous nights in Scottish football history.

Radio Times says... Scotland 1-1 Brazil
