Darren Fletcher will skipper Craig Levein’s side in today’s qualifier against Czech Republic at Hampden with only two competitive games under his belt since early March.
He was hit by a mystery virus and worked with a personal fitness coach over the summer, but his only action this season has been two reserve games.
But the 27-year-old said: “I feel as fit as I have done in more than a year.
“I worked hard and come through both reserve games without a problem.
“I was involved in the Blackpool game at the end of the season and managed to make the bench for the Champions League Final, but it was a real struggle.”
Scotland need maximum points from the games against the Czechs and Lithuania on Tuesday to have any realistic chance of winning a play-off place as runners-up to Group I leaders Spain.
