The Bunnet Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 Wonder if anyone has heard that Scotland may play a friendly in New York in the March international break, Mexico or Rep of Ireland. Still boakin after Ljubljana. But new year brings group draw for new fixtures and get mojo back. Be nice to know if the March game might happen. Return direct flights £270 down my way. Could be a once in a lifetime trip for many. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wanderer Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 (edited) Would take the NYC "rumours" with a pinch of salt, as I would imagine the SFA have not even thought that far ahead yet....... seems to be someone has noticed the international break is the week before the Tartan Week Festival in NYC starts. Imagine we will start hearing something round about December time (stories of the Poland and Czech friendlies started to leak through roundabout the holiday times) and I think there is more chance of a home and away (in Europe) game than the team going to the States.

wubbs Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 Hopefully we'll get an away game against Hungary or Romania as they're both in the same pot as us for Nations League. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wanderer Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 More chance of Morocco in March I would say than the USA..... Regan was recently in Morocco and gave a interview where he talked about a SFA-FRMF partnership where the two could work together. Morocco have a African Cup of Nations Qualifier in March, but could still use the other free date. As I said previously though, I doubt we will go further than Europe, and I do not expect any news until the new year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we’ll be seeing more friendlies with teams from outside Europe because of the Nations League. There won’t be that many friendly dates available now so the opportunity to play against the likes of Brazil, Argentina, USA, Australia etc. will be few and far between.

Lawnmower Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 I have my doubts about this one . The Moroccn's are saying it's a warm up for their cup match against Malawi on the 22 March. We have a full league fixture on the 17 March so when will have time to meet up , fly out then play a game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malcolm Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 They probably see us as a similar level to Malawi 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
