The Scotland national team return to action against Poland this week, in what is their first outing following a disappointing Euro 2024 campaign.
Two months have passed since Steve Clarke and his men played in Germany, with the latest edition of the Nations League having now rolled around.
It's a fairly new-looking squad with several of the previous key members absent. It could present a chance to play Ryan Gauld, who has finally been called upon by Clarke.
Here's everything you need to know about the first game of the international break...
When is Scotland vs Poland?
Scotland take on Poland on Thursday, September 5.
The Scotland vs Poland kick-off is time is 7.45pm.

Scotland vs Poland team news
Well, we know that Greg Taylor, Robby McCrorie, Che Adams and James Forrest have all dropped out.
They were replaced by Josh Doig, Jon McCracken and Connor Barron.
Clarke will be hoping for no more injury issues between now and the double-header, with an already fresh-looking squad.
Thursday night will be his first match without having Celtic skipper Callum McGregor available, who of course, retired from international football last month.
