A win would mean that Scotland are guaranteed a play off place for the World Cup. So we would be up against a good European team again. A draw would require other results to go our way to make it the qualifying play off game.
6/1 to beat Holland or scrape through with a draw then beat another decent team to make it to the World Cup. I wouldn't bet on that. Two days ago I was talking to people putting money on Macedonia to beat us at home. No chance Scotland will be in South Africa. I hope I'm wrong though. Especially without the lucky talisman McFadden. I work in a gym and its still full of guys training when Scotland are playing. Old Firm fans don't seem too bothered what happens. Rangers and Celtic supercede the national team for the majority of people here in the west coast. (Edit) I'm one of them

Here's the teams that have qualified already,I reckon England are relatively safe too.
HOSTS South Africa AFRICA QUALIFYING Ghana ASIA QUALIFYING Japan Australia South Korea North Korea EUROPE QUALIFYING Netherlands SOUTH AMERICA QUALIFYING Brazil The Irish teams are also looking good so far but I think Scotland,as usual have left themselves too much to do. Love to see them pull it off though.

I can only remember back a month or so:
No real shame in losing a close match by the odd goal to a good side but...

Croatia (9) were ranked 2 places above England (11) in the FIFA rankings when they won that game 3-2, Scotland (24) on the other hand were ranked 26 places above Norway (50) when they got stuffed 4-0 recently. The Croats may be many thing but muppets at football is certainly not 1 of them.

Hi Mark, I stand corrected. You're right. Scotland aren't guaranteed a place in the play-offs if they beat Holland. But it would be highly likely that this result would secure a play-off place. Scotland are currently 6th place in the list of 9 teams vying for the play-offs.
http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/footbal...6908-21653728/ If Scotland beat Holland we would have 13 points a draw 11. To beat us Hungary would need 7 points from 3 games, Portugal home and away and Denmark. Quote from the article linked - GROUP 3 This is Scotland's big hope and Burley wants Slovakia to clinch the group. Northern Ireland are second but their six points from wins over San Marino will be wiped, taking them back to eight. Nigel Worthington's team need full points from their last two games against Slovakia and Czech Republic to reach 14. Poland are virtually out of it as, having played San Marino twice, they sit on just five. Slovenia would also need six points from games against the Poles and Slovakia to hit 14. The Czechs have to beat both Poland and Northern Ireland to reach 12. If Northern Ireland or Slovenia draw their last two games they would finish on 10 so Burley is hoping for stalemates galore in the remaining fixtures.

I've no plans to go to South Africa if Scotland qualify. The tournament organisers must be hoping for teams like Scotland with big travelling supports to make it and spend their money there. Teams like North Korea qualifying are a dead loss. No supporters and won't generate much revenue for World Cup sponsors.
Would be nice to watch the games in a Pattaya beer bar.
