Big four days ahead

Scotland face a big four days if they hope to snatch a play off place for Euro 2012 qualification.

Spainhelped keep our faint hopes alive by seeing of the Czechs last night with a 2-0 win inPrague. This means a win in Leichtenstein tonight will seeScotlandmove into second place ahead of the final two fixtures.

Then on Tuesday the Czechs travel to Kaunus to take onLithuaniawhile at the same time we take onSpaininAlicante.

There are a couple of scenarios here, if the Czechs lose to Lithuania we will finish second, but on the flip side of that if they win we will need to beat the World and European Champions at home!

We have done it before, when we beatEnglandin 1967 at Wembley a year after they were crowned World Champions (you may have heard they won it once!). But this Spanish side is on a different planet to mere mortals when it comes to Football.

They saw off the Czechs last night without hitting top gear and there is every likelihood they will do that to us on Tuesday, therefore maybe our best chance is a Czech defeat on Tuesday. I think this more likely than it would have been a few months ago as the Czechs are a shadow of the great sides they have had in recent years.

First of all we need to get the result tonight, and I guess in the context of the group 1-0 will be good enough!

TheScotlandside for tonight is; McGregor, Hutton,Caldwell, Berra, Bardsley, Fletcher, Bannan, Morrison, Adam, Naismith, Mackail-Smith
