NORTHERN IRELAND TO FACE SCOTLAND
24/03/2008
Northern Ireland will take on Scotland in a friendly at Hampden Park in Glasgow on Wednesday, 20 August.
It will be the final warm-up game for both sides before they start their 2010 World Cup qualifying campaigns.
Manager Nigel Worthinton is looking forward to the game, "It's an ideal time for a friendly because the players will be fresh after their pre-season. It will be a friendly with an edge as it's a British Championship type game."
Northern Ireland and Scotland last met in 1992 with the Scots enjoying a 1-0 victory in a Hampden Park friendly, with a goal from Ally McCoist.
