Scotland vs Belarus: World Cup Qualifying Match Preview
World Cup Qualifying: Scotland vs Belarus
Venue: Hampden Park, Glasgow Date: Sunday, 12 October Time: 17:00 BST
Coverage: The match will be broadcast live on BBC Scotland, BBC Two, and the BBC iPlayer. Fans can also listen on BBC Radio Scotland and Radio Nan Gaidheal, with live text coverage, in-play clips, and interactive features available on the BBC Sport website and app.
Scotland has the opportunity to secure at least a World Cup playoff spot by the end of Sunday, and viewers can follow the action live across various BBC platforms.
After a victory against Greece on Thursday, Scotland is optimistic about claiming another three points against a winless Belarus team at Hampden Park this Sunday.
If Greece loses in Copenhagen and Scotland wins, the former will be eliminated, paving the way for a decisive match against Denmark in Glasgow next month.
However, Scotland must first overcome the challenge posed by Belarus.
Coverage of the match begins on BBC Two, the BBC Scotland channel, and the BBC iPlayer and app at 16:45 BST on Sunday.
Four former Scottish internationals—Neil McCann, James McFadden, Stephen O'Donnell, and Steven Thompson—will join host Amy Irons, with match commentary provided by Liam McLeod.
The build-up to the 17:00 kickoff will commence earlier on BBC Radio Scotland and BBC Sounds, featuring insights from former players Billy Dodds, Willie Miller, and Michael Stewart alongside host Kenny Macintyre starting at noon.
The team news and pre-match interviews will be aired at 16:00, with commentary from Alasdair Lamont from Hampden.
For a more relaxed perspective on the game, tune in to Off The Ball at 14:00, where former curling star Eve Muirhead will join Stuart Cosgrove and Tam Cowan. They will return at 19:30 to analyze the match with Scott Allan.
Online coverage will also be extensive, featuring pre-match build-up on the BBC Sport website and app, live updates, in-play clips from Hampden, and opportunities for fans to engage in the conversation as the match progresses.
