TA Torr Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 I see England just announced their games pre euros. Anyone heard anything for us? Who would you like to see us play? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProudScot Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 We should be announcing 2 or 3 matches & due to the situation only European teams are an option. Theres plenty of teams who haven’t qualified who we could play; Estonia, Norway, N.Ireland, Faroes, Latvia, Malta, Iceland, Slovenia, Lithuania, Kosovo etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottincarlisle Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 It would make sense if they are coming to London, play us at Hampden as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wanderer Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 Before lockdown last year, there was a lot of talk about a game v Northern Ireland in Belfast and a training camp in mainland Europe. Imagine depending on how far talks with NI got, that one may resurface. I would be shocked if we continue with plans for a training camp in Europe, and probably look for a home game of some kind or game in England.

sjd1972 Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 Wales have arranged a home game with Albania. Maybe invite them for a game? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loanhead-tartan Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 Would have been good to have 3 friendlies and take them around the country in front of full houses . Easter road/Tynecastle, rugby park , pittodrie. Obviously no happen wi covid though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While there is a sizable amount of friendlies for June, its all the same teams playing each other (ie the Baltic nations seem to be going up against each other over a two week window) and as for the Euro 2020 teams, only England, Ukraine, Portugal have all their games tied down, and then a hand full of teams like Wales, Romania, Finland, Poland and Austria with only one game announced so far. Teams like Germany, Netherlands, Sweden, France etc have yet to announce a single game... plus the Republic of Ireland have nothing announced. While time is getting on, we are not exactly the worst at the moment for announcing games (I imagine a number of teams are waiting for UEFA to make their announcement in April on the Euro's, which is probably holding others up announcing games).

PASTA Mick Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 Sweden, Poland and Slovakia all have 2 games in Dublin so might fancy a game at Hampden? We should be looking to arrange home games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should be looking to arrange home games. UEFA take control of Hampden day after Scottish Cup final, so off limits for games. I suspect the reason a there is not a awful lot of games announced so far is because teams who have qualified for the Euros are wary to travel, so struggling to get teams who will travel. Been some talk that Scotland are struggling for a Euro 2020 base camp.... Croatia have St Andrews booked, and apparently Czech's have Oriam (but talk they only had the original Euros date booked, and have not taken up option to switch to this year)... with reports that Steve is looking to use Newcastle United training ground for the Euros. So any home friendlies will probably be in Edinburgh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wanderer Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 (edited) While rare, Ireland have played friendlies in Cork in recent years (they played Belarus just before Euro 2016 and sure they played a game there before Euro 2012 against a African nation). They also played games in Limerick when the Aviva was getting rebuilt in the 00’s. Edited March 28, 2021 by wanderer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
