Scotland starting XI vs Liechtenstein as Steve Clarke makes changes
Clarke's men are looking to bounce back from a disappointing 3-1 defeat to Iceland at Hampden Park last time out.

Andri Gudjohnsen opened the scoring for the visitors, and although John Souttar soon equalised for the hosts, Lewis Ferguson's own goal, combined with Victor Palsson's header early in the second half, wrapped up a memorable Icelandic triumph.
Since Friday's loss, key duo Scott McTominay and Kieran Tierney have dropped out of the Scotland squad through injury.
No replacements for the outfield pair were drafted in, but amid a crisis between the sticks, uncapped goalkeepers Callan McKenna and Ross Doohan were both called up.
Clarke has opted to start the latter ahead of young Cieran Slicker, as he makes six changes to his lineup for tonight.
Scotland starting XI: Doohan, Ralston, Robertson, McGinn, Gilmour, Hirst, Adams, Hendry, Miller, S. McKenna, Ferguson.
Subs: C. McKenna, Slicker, Hanley, Conway, Souttar, Irving, Wilson, Barron, Johnston, Doig, Patterson, Bowie.

US Open level-par round 'up there' among MacIntyre's best
Robert MacIntyre says his level-par score on the first day of the US Open is "up there" with the best rounds of his star names Rory McIlroy, Bryson DeChambeau and Justin Rose all foundered on the notoriously difficult Oakmont course in Pittsburgh, the 28-year-old Scot's 70 has him in a strong position after Thursday's opening believes that replicating that scoring over the next three days will mean he is walking away as champion on Sunday night."I'm delighted with that," he said. "That was superb. That's up there. "I mean, it's in the top 10 of rounds that I've played. It's just so hard. Honestly, it's just every shot is like you're on a knife edge."But, overall, honestly, I don't know if it's good or bad to say after a level-par, but that's almost as good as I've got."American JJ Spaun set the pace with an early four-under par round, but MacIntyre is not expecting many to match such an "incredible" score over the next three days."I know that it will get tougher, but a level-par round today, if you shoot four level-par rounds, you're walking away with a medal and a trophy- I'm sure I'll take that," he could have been in an even better position had he not bogeyed the 18th, but his consistency from the tee underpinned his excellent start."I played absolutely beautifully, to be honest, off the tee, because that's where the real punishment is and that's as good as I can drive the golf ball," he said."I wasn't really hitting long drives. I wasn't trying to hit long drives."I was just trying to stay in the short stuff and manufacturing shots, whether it was 3-wood, whether it was driver, just try to hit the shape that I needed to find the fairway."I've never played a golf course as hard - the most demanding I have ever played and I've played Royal Lytham."

Robert MacIntyre hails opening 70 at US Open as ‘one of my top-10 rounds'
Scotland's Robert MacIntyre says his level-par score on the first day of the US Open is one of the best rounds of his career. While star names Rory McIlroy, Bryson DeChambeau and Justin Rose all floundered on the notoriously difficult Oakmont course in Pittsburgh, MacIntyre's 70 has him in a strong position after Thursday's opening round. The 28-year-old believes that replicating that scoring over the next three days will see him walking away as champion on Sunday night. 'I'm delighted with that,' he said. 'That was superb. That's up there. 'I mean, it's in the top 10 of rounds that I've played. It's just so hard. Honestly, it's just every shot is like you're on a knife edge. 'But overall, honestly, I don't know if it's good or bad to have a level-par, but that's almost as good as I've got. 'I know that it will get tougher, but a level-par round today, if you shoot four level-par rounds, you're walking away with a medal and a trophy. I'm sure I'll take that.' MacIntyre could have been in an even better position had he not bogeyed the 18th, but his consistency from the tee underpinned his excellent start. 'I played absolutely beautifully, to be honest, off the tee, because that's where the real punishment is and that's as good as I can drive the golf ball,' he said.
