Kenny Dalglish believes Kieran Tierney's ability to play several positions is a great asset to Scotland.
Gordon Strachan's men host Slovakia at Hampden Park on Thursday night before their final 2018 World Cup Qualifier in Slovenia, and are looking for two wins which could secure a play-off spot.
Tierney, 20, has established himself as the left-back at Parkhead but is likely to again be shuffled to right-back with Liverpool's Andrew Robertson occupying his normal berth on the left.
Dalglish is confident Tierney can make the switch with great success.
"It depends if Tierney feels comfortable enough at right-back," said Scotland's record cap holder Dalglish, who made 102 appearances. "He's certainly good enough to play there.
"We never bring so many players through and we bring through two in the one position who are very, very good in the same position and the young boy Anthony Ralston (of Celtic) might not be too bad either in years to come.
"There are a few coming through. That can only be beneficial for everyone."
Dalglish, Scotland's joint record goalscorer with 30 goals, played at three World Cup finals - in 1974, 1978 and 1982 - and hopes Scotland return to football's top stage for the first time in 20 years.
He said: "You only get there if you deserve to get there and Gordon and the team have given themselves a fantastic chance and opportunity.
"If we hadn't lost the last minute goal (2-2) against England - it wasn't even the last minute, it was the last second - that would have made a hell of a difference but we have two big games now."
