STEVE CLARKE puts his job on the line when his desperately underachieving Scotland side travel to the heat of Yerevan to meet Armenia.
But what every member of a disgusted Tartan Army wants to know is which Scotland will turn up.
Will it be the swashbuckling one who produced arguably the best Scotland performance of the past 20 years against Denmark in November or the one who produced shameful capitulations against Ukraine and Ireland?
The truth is it's highly unlikely Clarke knows either, but another lamentable surrender like in Dublin could easily cost him his job.
On paper, this should be a walk in the park for the Scots. Armenia were just about the worst and most unambitious side ever to stink out Hampden since San Marino in a one-sided encounter last week.
But as bad as they were, they managed to defeat the same Irish side who demolished Scotland in Dublin last week in a shock 1-0 win in baking conditions in Yerevan.
They will allow Scotland plenty of the ball and the visitors have so many so many players who are massively out of form at the moment – yes, hello John McGinn, Che Adams, Andy Robertson and Billy Gilmour to name but four – it's tricky to know if that will be an advantage or not.
How the bookies view it
It would take a brave man to steam into Scotland in current form, but SBK's 3.5 will certainly attract plenty of punters. The hosts can be backed at 6/1 with the same firm. McBookie.com have the draw at 3/1.
Recent head to heads
The nations have only met once before last week at Hampden when a wasteful Scotland could only win 2-0 as seen below. Scotland have never been to Armenia.
Players to watch
Krasnodar playmaker Eduard Spertsyan scored the goal that stunned Ireland in their 1-0 win in Yerevan. He is 15/2 with McBookie.com to repeat the feat against the Scots.
John Souttar will surely get the nod here and with the rest of Scotland team seemingly having forgotten hwo to score goals and with Scotland usually racking up the corners, the new Rangers defender will be a real threat at set-piece deliveries. He is 8/1 with McBookie.com to score anyime.
Recent head to heads
As bad as Scotland are, they are playing a team who are truly abysmal. The players maintain they have faith in Clarke and they simply must prove it on Tuesday.
It's highly unlikely to be pretty, but the visitors should sneak a win here and the 12/5 with bet365 for a Scotland win and under 2.5 goals looks like the way to go.
Scotland will again look to go for corners – they even managed eight in Saturday's horror show – and with Armenia likely to happily surrender possession, McBookie.com's 3/4 on Scotland to give up 2.5 corners on the handicap should be a solid shout.
