SCOTTISH football has seen its share of lows over recent years but there’s no time like the next fortnight to turn it around.

Scotland have a double-header in the Nations League, while Rangers and Celtic are both on Europa League duty tonight (November 8) and four wins from four, a realistic target, would certainly revitalise the national game.

Rangers kick things off away in Russia tonight in the early evening game against Spartak Moscow, followed by Celtic hosting Red Bull Leipzig at Parkhead.

Alex McLeish has endured a torrid start as Scotland manager and will be striving for improvement in the upcoming brace of games.

The Dark Blues’ Saturday night game against Albania (November 17) will pull crowds into pubs and bars. And Scotland also have a chance to avenge their shock defeat to Israel last month with the backing of the home crowd at Hampden three days later (November 20).

The country’s rugby team are back in action too in the Autumn Internationals; the Scots play Fiji (November 10) and South Africa a week later (November 17).

Those looking for pugilism will be eagerly anticipating Tony Bellew’s bout with undisputed cruiserweight champion Oleksandr “The Cat” Usyk as the Liverpudlian looks to make history and take the southpaw’s crown (November 10).
