The big selections calls have been made and your Scotland XI for the crucial Nations League tie with Ukraine at Hampden is now set.
After nearly 12,500 entries from 麻豆社 Sport readers, has a winning formula been devised?
First off, the 3-5-2 formation usually favoured by Steve Clarke is out the window for an attack-minded 4-3-3 set-up, with Craig Gordon the almost unanimous choice as goalkeeper.
In front of him, fit-again Kieran Tierney gets the nod to replace injured skipper Andy Robertson at left-back. Nathan Patterson occupies the opposite flank and Jack Hendry and Scott McKenna are the chosen centre-back pairing.
The midfield virtually picked itself, with Callum McGregor, John McGinn and Billy Gilmour clear by a distance of other contenders. What they lack in height they make up for in dynamism.
Up front, the returning Ryan Fraser edges out Ryan Christie for a wide role, with Che Adams and Lyndon Dykes completing the line-up and bringing plenty of physicality.
It looks a team built for goals. Over to you, Scotland.
