Scotland's assistant manager knows all about the country, having coached Omonia Nicosia in 2016-17, and thinks handling the heat will be a key factor in Larnaca on Friday. Steve Clarke's side sit top of Group A after four consecutive victories and another win, combined with other results going their way, could seal qualification when England arrive for Tuesday's friendly at Hampden Park.However, Carver insists "we've not even discussed" the match that will celebrate the 150th anniversary of world football's oldest international fixture.
"In all my years working with football teams, this is the most focused group of people I've worked with, which is a really good thing and an honour for these guys because I've worked with some good teams and some good players, but these guys are right on it."
