Steve Clarke believes Saturday's friendly opponents Curacao "will give us an idea of the level" Scotland will face in their World Cup opener against Haiti.
Clarke's side will play their final match at Hampden Park before travelling to the United States.
They will take on Bolivia in their final warm-up, with that match on 9 June in New Jersey, before Group C fixtures against Haiti (14 June), Morocco (19 June) and Brazil (24 June).
"Curacao and Haiti are quite often playing against each other, so that will give us that level," head coach Clarke told BBC Scotland.
"It will give us an idea of the level in that part of the world.
"What we hope for is a good competitive game against Curacao and, obviously, no injuries is first and foremost in everybody's mind.
"We want to win the game and give the crowd a good feeling as we leave and give ourselves a good feeling as we leave the country for what's going to be a big challenge."
Curacao are managed by former Rangers and Netherlands boss Dick Advocaat.
"I was looking at the list of clubs he's been at, the jobs that he's had is absolutely incredible - fantastic career," Clarke said of the Dutchman.
"What he did at Rangers is well remembered here. He said he had a great time over here.
"The first time I met Dick was actually at the World Cup draw and him and his delegation were pretty clear that they wanted a friendly against Scotland before the World Cup, so it's fantastic that we can bring them here to Glasgow.
"If it's a great story for us that we've qualified, it's like a fairytale for Curacao to be going to a World Cup - country that size - and a credit to Dick, his staff and the players that have managed to do that.
"Apparently he's got quite a good record [at Hampden], so hopefully we can put a spanner in the works on that one."
Team news
Clarke indicated the preparations for Saturday's match had been "strange" with different groups of players arriving at different times as the domestic season winds down. Five more players are scheduled to join the squad on Friday evening.
"No injury concerns at the moment, so hopefully everyone fit and available," he said.
"The starting XI against Haiti will be slightly different to the starting XI tomorrow. I would imagine we're allowed to make 11 substitutions and pretty much most of them will be used. In my mind, I'm thinking in my mind four or five changes at half-time.
"We've also got players that haven't played since the start of May. They need some minutes on the pitch.
"It's going to be a squad World Cup, not just the team. Every match there'll be 16 players going on the pitch at some stage. Between games, there'll be rotations in certain positions.
"The modern game is pretty much a squad game anyway, but it's going to be even more out there because of the extreme conditions."
What they said
Scotland midfielder Ryan Christie: "Every single team that's going to the World Cup is there on merit, so they must be a good side. I'm sure it'll be a tough test tomorrow for us.
"It's a good kind of warm-up. It's exactly what we're needing. It'll be nice to play in front of the fans.
"Hopefully we all stay injury-free, come out the other side of it and put a good performance together and get a win even better going into the tournament."
Who are Curacao?
Curacao became the smallest nation by both population and area to qualify for World Cup finals when they topped their group ahead of Jamaica, Trinidad & Tobago and Bermuda in November.
They also became the sixth non-sovereign national team to qualify after England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland (as constituent countries of the United Kingdom), and the Dutch East Indies, a colony that competed in the 1938 tournament.
Curacao have only existed in their present status since 2011, when the island officially became a separate country within the Kingdom of the Netherlands.
They competed previously as the Territory of Curaçao from 1924 but then the Netherlands Antilles from 1954.
Having steered the present side to the World Cup, former Rangers manager Dick Advocaat resigned in February citing his daughter's health concerns only to return after her improvement and amid unhappiness with successor Fred Rutten.
At 78, he is destined to become the oldest manager at a World Cup finals.
As you might expect, 12 of Advocaat's 26-man squad play their football in the Netherlands, including former Rangers midfielder Juninho Bacuna, now of Volendam.
However, they are captained by Leandro Bacuna, the 34-year-old former Aston Villa, Reading, Cardiff City and Watford midfielder now with Igdir, with former Livingston full-back Joshua Brenet also in Turkey with Kayserispor.
Meanwhile, midfielder Gervane Kastaneer, now with Terengganu in Malaysia, had a loan spell with Heart of Midlothian from Coventry City.
Former Swansea City trainee winger Kenji Gorre is with Maccabi Haifa and former Brighton & Hove Albion forward Jurgen Locadia is with Miami.
Three of the squad currently play in England - winger Sontje Hansen is with Middlesbrough, while midfielders Tahith Chong and Ar'jany Martha are with Sheffield United and Rotherham United respectively.
Match statistics
This will be the first ever meeting between Scotland and Curacao, with Curacao becoming the sixth different North/Central American nation that Scotland have faced.
Scotland have failed to win any of their past six meetings with North/Central American nations, losing three of them, since a 4-1 friendly win over Trinidad and Tobago in 2004.
Curacao have never beaten a European nation, losing five of their previous six matches, the only time they have avoided defeat being a 0-0 draw with the Netherlands in 1960.
Scotland will become the fourth different European nation they have taken on after the Netherlands (three times), Denmark (twice) and most recently Kazakhstan.
Scotland have lost three of their past four matches across all competitions (winning one), as many defeats as they suffered across their previous 12 matches, while they have lost both of their past two and could lose three on the spin for the first time since 2024 – when they had a run of four.
Curacao have lost both of their past two matches, 5-1 to Australia and 2-0 to China, this after they had avoided defeat in each of their previous six matches, all in CONCACAF qualifying for the World Cup, winning three of them.
Terengganu forward Gervane Kastaneer was Curacao's top scorer in 2026 World Cup qualifying, netting five times, two more than any other team-mate, while he provided the assist for their only goal in their most recent loss to Australia.
Scotland's past 10 goals across all competitions have been scored by nine different players, with Napoli midfielder Scott McTominay the only player to score more than once during this run. However, they have failed to find the back of the net in each of their past two matches – losing 1-0 to both Ivory Coast and Japan.
