THE international break finishes up this week as a number of countries battle it out for a place at Russia 2018.

Wales host the Republic of Ireland in a crucial clash on Monday night, live on Sky Sports Main Event at 7.45pm.

On Tuesday, Portugal v Switzerland and Netherlands v Sweden are just two of several appealing ties to take place. 

Domestic action returns at the end of the week when Rangers travel to St Johnstone in the Ladbrokes Premiership. 

BT Sport 1 will show the game live at 7.45pm from McDiarmid Park as two sides locked on 14 points look to close the gap on Celtic and Aberdeen.
