I suppose it might have been a bit too optimistic for a Scotland fan to be booking their ticket for the Euro 2008 championships after a change in fortunes in the second half of World Cup 2006 qualifying under the stewardship of Walter Smith, but then the Uefa Bigwigs drop us in this group:
France
Italy
Ukraine
Scotland
Lithuania
Georgia
Faroe Islands
Are you kidding me? That's 3 teams in the World Cup this summer, all of whom won their World Cup qualifying group, all of whom have potent strike forces, and all are more likely to beat us. Even trying to get 3rd and boost our coefficient is going to be an ask, with Lithuania and Georgia no pushovers either. We won't dwell on the Faroes!
At Least there is a couple of good away games in there, I fancy France and the Ukraine and depending on where it is to be played Italy, Genoa hopefully.
We find out the dates w/e of 10-11th February
