romanticscot Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 (edited) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2018_FIFA_World_Cup_qualification#UEFA Still some penultimate games to be played for some teams. This is all supposing we make the play-offs, but lets allow ourselves to dream. Who is most likely to be in there, who is most likely to be seeded, who do we want to avoid and who would we like? First - Some business The second round draw will take place on 17 October 2017 at midday GMT. The first legs will be played on 9–11 November, and the second legs will be played on 12–14 November 2017. FIFA World Rankings will be used to decide which of the teams would be seeded. Each tie will see a seeded team drawn against an unseeded team, with the order that the two legs are played decided as part of the draw.

weekevie04 Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 Let's not! Let's beat Slovenia before even thinking about that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fraz65 Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 This is Scotland we're talking about- when things are going well, we always slip up in Eastern Europe. Slovenia still counts as Eastern Europe. I really, really, really hope that they prove me wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
borojock Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 Lets get there first and im sure all the team are focusing on is the Slovenia game on Sunday If we win on Sunday & Belgium draw or win in Bosnia tonight The dutch draw or win against Sweden at home on Monday then were guaranteed one of the top 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are away to Georgia (we all know what can happen there) and at home to Ireland. Can’t see them winning both of those without Bale.

deso1 Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 Wish I'd saved my money in case we make the play off.......so I could afford a home ticket............God knows how much they'll charge this time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoonTheSlope Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 All day I've been telling myself that nothing's changed since yesterday, the requirements are still the same. I still can't stop myself thinking about the World Cup though never mind the playoffs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be about the same as the England game I would imagine. They knew the England game would sell out regardless of the price so they charged the highest price they thought they could get away with for that. It would be the same for the playoff. It won’t be any pricier than a Champions League game at Celtic Park I wouldn’t think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bino's Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 if we win in Slovenia it will be our greatest result in a competitive game in at least a decade if 15 years it's a huge if still Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
romanticscot Posted October 6, 2017 Author Share Posted October 6, 2017 I am talking with my friend in Louisiana that if we make the play offs I will make a trip to watch the game with him. I am rooting for Portugal to win their group, then my biggest fear would be getting drawn with Italy. Not saying I don't see the rest as a walk in the park but in terms of big boys I think it will be Italy will be the only one in there.
