The Tartan Army had to sweat it out through penalty shoot-out wins over Israel and Serbia in the play-offs, but spirits will be high following those dramatic victories.
Some encouraging efforts in the Nations League, including home and away wins over the Czech Republic, enhance the feeling that Scotland will not go down without a fight in any fixture.
That will especially apply to a much-anticipated showdown with the Auld Enemy England at Wembley, which comes in between two games on home turf at Hampden Park.
Liverpool full-back Andrew Robertson is proving a fine captain, while Scott McTominay of Manchester United is among several midfielders possessing strong leadership qualities.
