[chopper]

Scotland home games certainly aren't the cheapest trips either :***: :oops:

[anglesdavidson]

I would probably prefer

Portugal
Romania
Slovakia
Lithuania
N.Ireland/ Cyprus
Andorra

Number of different reasons behind this group.
For the good of Scotland would want the easiest group possible but I feel this has a good mix of crackin/cheap trips testing games and a reasonable chance of qualification.
Gettin so depressed about the lack of trips recently but am quite confident of the teams chances with a good young squad.
Mon the Scots
