The battle line is drawn. Scotland take on Nigeria in an international friendly at Craven Cottage looking to maintain their good recent run and build momentum going into the Euro 2016 qualifiers.
The game is the last scheduled fixture for Gordon Strachan's side before their opening Euro 2016 qualification match against Germany on September 7.
The game goes ahead despite reports of an apparent match-fixing investigation by the National Crime Agency.
Strachan's side go into the clash on the back of a five-match unbeaten run, the most recent results being 1-0 away wins at Norway and Poland, while the Scots have kept clean sheets in their last four games.
