To us, says Mcleish

Army or to Scottish fans in general but it would be great to see them filling the ground [against Albania],” said Mcleish.

“Probably it will be difficult to see a full house on Monday night but we and the players and coaches would love to see as many as possible coming to the games. If we get a really positive result against Belgium then hopefully the floodgates will open for the fans coming on Monday.

“When it comes to the Nations League, that is the most important game for us. The two of them are very important. We want to show a good performance level against Belgium, want to show we have the legs to match them and have the skills to hurt them going into the Nations League match, which is competition time.”
