Have you recovered from the pulsating late win against Israel? Right, well take a moment to consider how close Scotland now are to the World Cup.
With three games remaining in the qualifying campaign, the scenario is simple – or as simple as it can ever be with Scotland.
Beat the Faroe Islands on Tuesday and then Moldova away next month, and Steve Clarke’s side will secure second place in Group F.
Then it would be into the play-offs for a shot at Qatar 2022.
Destiny in Scots’ hands
It’s a cliche that life is never easy with Scotland, but it’s a cliche for a reason.
The Israel match was a classic case of self-inflicted toil as sloppy goals and missed chances looked to have done Scotland’s play-off hopes some damage.
But a roaring comeback capped by Scott McTominay’s dramatic stoppage-time winner means their fate remains firmly in their own grasp.
Victory has opened up a four-point gap on the Israelis and Austria, who won 2-0 away to the Faroe Islands on Saturday night.
That means Scotland are left with – in international football terms – a straightforward task of beating two minnows – the Faroe Islands and Moldvoa – away from home to ensure second spot.
If they succeed, then Scotland will not be under pressure to pick up any points in the final match at home to high-flying Denmark.
In theory the match with the Danes could be a tussle for top spot. But Kasper Hjulmand’s impressive side are very likely to have already secured first place by the time they pitch up in Glasgow.
What awaits in vital games?
After the Israel win, Clarke repeated the notion the remaining games are “cup finals” and it’s hard to argue otherwise.
Scotland have eased to victory in the last five meetings against the Faroes – including a 4-0 home win in March – but only one of those was in the North Atlantic archipelago and no one will forget the damaging draws there in 2002 and 1999.
They are an improving team, and almost managed a draw against Denmark last month.
There are painful memories against Moldova, the group’s lowliest side. It proved to be Berti Vogts’ final match in charge as Scotland were held to a 1-1 draw in 2004.
The current team would expect far better, but the Moldovans did prove a tough nut to crack at Hampden in September, as Scotland eked out a 1-0 win.
Nothing can be taken for granted, then. Leaving it to the final game against the free-scoring Danes would be unwise to say the least.
How do the play-offs work?
The Nations League route to the play-offs, which helped send Clarke’s side to Euro 2020, is already closed this time after the Czech Republic won Scotland’s group.
So, only a second-placed finish will suffice. The 10 runners-up in World Cup qualifying progress to the play-offs, where the best six are seeded depending on their results in the group stage. Scotland are currently among those.
Two Nations League section winners, who finished third or below in World Cup qualifying, complete the line-up.
The 12 teams are then split into three play-off paths for one-off semi-finals and a final in March next year. The three path winners qualify for the showpiece in Qatar.
Simple, eh?
