The draw for the Uefa Euro 2012 qualifiers was made today in Warsaw, Polland.
Scotland were drawn in Group I, which was also the last pot to be drawn.

Craig Lavein was quick to point out we've played Lithuania in the previous 2 Euro campaigns for 2004 and 2008. We've also not played Liechtenstein in recent memory.
