Scotland head coach Steve Clarke says World Cup qualification would "put right" the disappointment of failing to beat Ukraine in the play-offs for the 2022 finals.
Clarke led the country back to a major men's tournament for the first time since 1998 by qualifying for Euro 2020 and repeated the feat for last summer's Euros.
But, in what is about to become a record-breaking tenure, he is determined to banish the memory of the 3-1 Hampden defeat that ended hopes of a place in Qatar.
"It's something we'd like to put right, for sure," he said before Sunday's game with Belarus, live across the BBC.
Victory would enhance the Scots' chances of getting to a first men's World Cup in 28 years and, combined with defeat for Greece in Denmark, would guarantee another play-off place.
Scotland finished second behind the Danes in the last campaign, losing only to the group winners, and are set go head-to-head with them again this time.
"It was on the back of what I felt was a really good campaign," Clarke recalled of the Ukraine game, in which victory would have set up a play-off final with Wales.
"Everybody forgets that game should have been played in March [it was rescheduled because of Russia's invasion of Ukraine], when we would have had more people fit.
"You get to the game in June and the build-up was very, very strange and we'd lost two or three key players - and it didn't go for us on the night.
"Disappointment, yes. Something we'd like to put right, yes.
But also, when you've been in the game as long as me, you accept that there will be negative results and there will be difficult moments. That was certainly one of them because we felt that we had done enough in the qualifying campaign.
Ultimately, Ukraine lost the play-off final against Wales a few days later and also had to watch the World Cup from home.
However, the victory at Hampden was a rare moment of joy for a country in turmoil. Here are some snapshots of how that night went...
A heroic Ukraine roused a performance of spirit, endeavour and courage to stun Scotland and earn a historic World Cup play-off final against Wales.
With their country enshrouded in trauma amid the ongoing war with Russia, a team hauled together shone brightly at a sun-drenched Hampden.
Andriy Yarmolenko and Roman Yaremchuk struck either side of half-time before Callum McGregor gave Scotland hope late on. But Artem Dovbyk sealed a Qatar 2022 showdown in Cardiff on Sunday with the last kick of the ball.

Scotland must "suffer together", says head coach Steve Clarke, after a spirited Ukraine ended their hopes of reaching the World Cup in Qatar.
Despite their country being at war with Russia and some in their squad having not played competitively for months, the visitors earned a deserved 3-1 win.
"I'm suffering, my coaching staff are suffering," Clarke said. "And, more than anyone, the players are suffering.

They strode purposefully into the Hampden sunshine with Ukraine flags draped over their shoulders, the hopes of a traumatised nation in their hearts and the eyes of the world upon them.
Wearing bright yellow, Ukraine's players brought a sparkle of joy back to their war-scarred country as they poured their soul into achieving an epic victory and maybe, just maybe, claiming an unlikely place at the World Cup finals.

Steve Clarke's poker face remained intact, his demeanour telling you nothing about how dreadful a night this was for himself and his team.
In keeping his emotions in check, he was pretty much alone after Scotland's 3-1 World Cup play-off semi-final defeat by Ukraine.
His players couldn't match him in the deadpan stakes. They had regret written all over them. Two games away from a place at the World Cup, so many of them picked the wrong time to lose the plot.
