Scotland manager Gordon Strachan has revealed that he is excited ahead of his side's must-win World Cup qualifier with Slovakia.
The Tartan Army sit in fourth position in Group F, but victory over second-placed Slovakia would take Strachan's side into another key fixture with Slovenia on Sunday.
However, rather than feeling the pressure of trying to lead Scotland to a first World Cup since 1998, Strachan cannot wait for the game to start at Hampden Park.
The 60-year-old is quoted by BBC Sport as saying: "We've had to deal with must-win games in the last four. Momentum is good at the moment. It's really exciting for me taking on this challenge.
"We've put together the basis of a team plan. The players themselves will determine how the game goes. It's all down to the players."
Scotland are unbeaten in their last four qualifying fixtures.
