The Scotland V Czech Republic match that's long been rumered has finally been confirmed on the SFA webiste.
Scotland V Czech Republic
Wednesday 3rd March 2010
Hampden Park, Glasgow
Kick off 8pm
It's a real pitty this game couldn't have been played at a smaller venue such as Easter Road or Pittodrie. Hopefully the SFA will set the ticket pricing at the right level to try and maximise the croud - £10 would be a good start.
