IMO this will be a tough match at a higher altitude than normal and it will be a challenging one for a revamped Scotland team put together from a threadbare squad. An obvious change will be the goalie position.Stevo and Armstrong have already returned home. So their absence presents an opp for other fringe players. I'll predict a hard fought draw in this one but may well be proved wrong by the testy altitude conditions.

FT and a decent 1-0 defeat at the hands of another Russia bound team that squandered lotsa scoring opps and thoroughly deserved their win - too good for us. Johnny Russell definitely the 'pick of the bunch' in a match in which the Scotland players 'put in a shift' and the winning goal by Dos Santos was such a clever and accurate shot - a top quality 'strike'.

What was the point of playing these games ? Traveling half way around the world at the end of the season to play 2 countries in world cup mode ?

Peru and Mexico called it right - nice wins against a weak team from a strong confereration (europe). Maximum co-efficient boost for them for a friendly. We will go down the rankings,especially after we play belgium and portugal.

The side was absolutely pants apart from mcgeough and bain, that mcburnie couldnt trap a bag of cement.
