SCOTLAND can't afford a slip-up on Monday night when minnows Malta visit Hampden Park.

Gordon Strachan's side are back in the hunt for a play-off place after a 3-0 win away in Lithuania on Friday moved them into third place. 

Sky Sports will show the Russia 2018 qualifier live, kicking off at 7.45pm.

Domestic action will then return at the end of the week when Celtic face Hamilton Accies at New Douglas Park, live on BT Sport 1 at 7.45pm.
