Scotland boss Gordon Strachan says that the upcoming World Cup qualifier against England represents a do-or-die scenario for his side.

Ahead of the game at Hampden, the Scots find themselves in the fourth spot of Group F and in desperate need of points.

He said: "This is a cracker and one we are all excited about.

"There is a lot riding on this match. There are a country's hopes and dreams riding on this.

"England should qualify, they have enough good players in their squad and the other teams are after second place really and to get to the play-off. We believe we can be that team."

"To get to World Cups you need to pull off big results," he said. "This is our big chance to pull off a big result.

"When you do that it gives you a real good chance of qualifying.

"If we get the result on Saturday then there will be an opportunity for us to grab."
