Republic of Ireland striker Robbie Keane only needs two more goals in order to reach a half-century in international football.
The Irish only require a point in order to claim the first Home Nations Cup, as they have a better goal advantage at the top of the table.
Trapattoni’s side maintained their 100% record at the top of the Home Nations Cup with a five-goal demolition of Northern Ireland on Tuesday.
If Scotland can achieve victory over Ireland then they will claim their first trophy since they won the Kirin Cup in Japan in May 2006, when they defeated Bulgaria and drew with Japan.
James Morrison , along with Christophe Berra both claimed their first international goals against Wales, with the West Brom midfielder doing so on his 25th birthday.
A victory for the Scots will see them take the lead in the head-to-head between the nations, with both sides having claimed victory three times in eight meetings.
PROBABLE LINE-UPS
Republic of Ireland (4-4-2)
Given; McShane, Delaney, O’Dea, Ward; Coleman, Whelan, Fahey, Hunt; Keane, Cox.
Republic of Ireland coach Giovanni Trapattoni can welcome back Celtic defender Darren O’Dea, as well as midfield duo Keith Fahey and Glenn Whelan as they look to secure the Home Nations Cup with a victory.
The Italian will be without the services of Preston North End defender Sean St Ledger who has been unable to overcome a knee problem to be fit in time for the game against the Scots.
Scotland (4-5-1)
McGregor; Whittaker, Wilson, Berra, Bardsley; Naismith, Brown, Adam, Morrison, McCormack; Miller.
Craig Levein will be without full back Stephen Crainey, after the Blackpool defender left the camp in order to undergo a knee operation for a long-standing injury.
Defender Gary Caldwell is a major doubt for the Scots with a hip injury, while James Morrison and Charlie Adam are suffering from knocks and may be game-time decisions for the Scotland manager.
Phil Bardsley will take over from Crainey at the left back position, while youngsters Grant Hanley and Danny Wilson will be competing for Caldwell’s slot.
Prediction
Both sides come into the final fixture with a 100% record and as such the game will be extremely close as they edge closer towards the Home Nations Cup.
With the Irish having home advantage and being buoyed by the resounding victory over Northern Ireland they will be able to claim the point to win the title.
