In their last two matches, Scotland managed to record back to back wins against Albania and Israel, securing Nations League promotion and a Euro 2020 play off spot in the process.
Former national captain Darren Fletcher has said that positivity has returned to the Scottish national side as a direct consequence of these results, and claims that the team have the fans believing once again.
Fletcher thinks that Alex McLeish's side will have gained vast amounts of confidence from the two victories , which they need to utilise going forward.
He told 'Sky Sports News': "McLeish realised there was pressure building. The result in Israel was a disaster because the friendly games were difficult. The formation wasn't working. Forrest couldn't play because they were playing in that particular formation and they went to Israel and suffered a really bad defeat, which could have been even worst but for Allan McGregor."
The midfielder pointed out the changes that have revitalised his nation's fortunes, saying: "...we've got a change of formation, a couple of wins and the positivity is back.You can see the relief and what it means to the manager," the Scotland midfielder added. "And he is right, in the four competitive games he's had they've won three and qualified out of this group."
Fletcher concluded: "Scotland would have expected to win this group though. We've made it a little bit more difficult but we got there in the end. It's fantastic and hopefully it gives us a lot of confidence going forward."
