All you need to know about Scotland's June friendlies

Scotland host Iceland on Friday before travelling to Liechtenstein on Monday to close out their season with two friendly matches.

With Steve Clarke's side not starting their World Cup qualifying campaign until September, these games are part of their preparations before a tilt at reaching the grand show in the United States, Canada, and Mexico next year.

Here is everything you need to know about the double header.

Clarke named seven uncapped players in his squad for these two matches, and so far nobody has pulled out.

Goalkeepers: Gunn (unattached), McCrorie (Kilmarnock), Slicker (Ipswich Town)

Defenders: Doig (Sassuolo Calcio), Hanley (Birmingham City), Hendry (Al-Etiffaq), Johnston (Sturm Graz), Scott McKenna (Las Palmas), Patterson (Everton), Ralston (Celtic), Robertson (Liverpool), Souttar (Rangers), Tierney (Arsenal)

Midfielders: Barron (Rangers), Ferguson (Bologna), Gilmour (Napoli), Irving (West Ham United), McGinn (Aston Villa), McTominay (Napoli), Miller (Motherwell)

Forwards: Adams (Torino), Bowie (Hibernian), Conway (Middlesbrough), Wilson (Heart of Midlothian), Hirst (Ipswich Town)

What a daft question, every Scotland game matters.

As well as world ranking points on offer, Scotland will be favourites to win both matches and that means there is expectation.

With World Cup qualifying starting in the autumn, Clarke and his side need to arrive in the best possible shape.

That means two victories are important, even in friendly matches. It is also an opportunity for some uncapped players to impress.

Naturally for a tiny nation, Iceland have fallen from the heady heights of Euro 2016, when they reached the quarter-finals in their first major tournament, and the 2018 World Cup.

Now down at 74th in the world rankings, they finished third in their Nations League B section behind Wales and Turkey, but in front of Montenegro, who they registered their two wins against.

And although they still have plenty of players representing big clubs around Europe, star striker Orri Oskarsson will not be playing.

The 20-year-old missed the end of Real Sociedad's season and is not in the squad.

As for Liechtenstein, their current fortunes are bleak.

At 205th in the world, only five teams are ranked below them and one of them, San Marino, beat them twice in the recent Nations League D campaign.

The 3-1 defeat in Vaduz was the first away win in San Marino's history.

It was also the first time they scored more than once in a competitive game and the first time they had scored three goals in any match.

Despite also being a tiny nation, none of those are things Liechtenstein will be proud of.

Anything less than a comfortable win would be unthinkable for Scotland.

The BBC is the only place to follow Scotland across TV, radio, and online.

All of the coverage is accessible on the BBC Sport app and website, including the live TV action which gets under way at 19:30 BST from Hampden on Friday for the Iceland match, which is a 19:45 kick-off.

Injured Scotland striker Lyndon Dykes is part of the coverage along with James McFadden on BBC One Scotland and iPlayer.

On Monday, the Liechtenstein match is a 17:00 BST kick off with coverage on BBC Scotland and iPlayer from 16:30, with Dykes and former Scotland captain Scott Brown as pundits.

Sportsound will also have live commentary on BBC Radio Scotland Extra and BBC Sounds and there will be live text coverage, as well as clips and highlights on the BBC Sport website and app.

For some teams, qualification has already started. Five-nation groups have already played two games in their campaign.

But with Scotland only in a four-team section with Denmark, Greece, and Belarus their opening game is not until September.

First up is a trip to Denmark on 5 September before another away game against Belarus follows three days later.

In October Scotland host Greece and Belarus at Hampden, before ending with the Greeks away and Denmark at Hampden in November.
