Why is it that the rest of the world and their dog know about our fixtures before the Scotland fans do. We really do get the mushroom treatment.

The SFA have a policy of not announcing games and dates until the contract is signed. Other nations aren't so careful about this.

The " cows tale policy" prevents any claims for travel compensation from fans if the date changes or there is a cancellation of the fixture due to financial arrangements, That can be a sticking point especially when it comes to friendlies. Does the home team not usually pay a fee to cover the away teams travel expenses. This can be lucrative and hence why the SFA played a freindly against USA and got gubbed. They were warming up for a important qualification fixture and it was an end of season "jolly" for the players. I am sure leivine had the players out on the golfcourse the day before. One of his last matches in charge.

Seems to be plenty inside knowledge on here and FB about upcoming games but nothing has been announced yet. Should be interesting to see what really happens and see who the wise guys really are.

Ukraine manager has said that they will play 3 games in May before the Euros and our name is amongst the list of rumoured teams.

Ukraines pre-Euros training camp will be Turkey for almost the whole of May before moving on to Switzerland or Northern Italy before going on to France.
