La afición dejó ayer claro que le da igual si el partido de esta noche entre España y Escocia es trascendente o no. Unos 12.000 seguidores presenciaron el entrenamiento en el estadio Rico Pérez. Mientras tanto, Alicante se llena de kilts, la tradicional falda escocesa que, orgullosos, lucen la mayoría de los miembros de la Tartan Army, la hinchada visitante.

Scotland travel to Liechenstein on Saturday looking to keep their slim hopes of qualifying for Euro 2012 alive. Despite the assertions of manager Craig Levein, this campaign has been nothing short of a disaster for the Tartan Army and another major step back for the national team at a time when the quality of player available for selection is as high as it has been for some time.

Building up to this week's final round of group qualifying fixtures for the 2012 European Championships, BBC Radio Scotland has produced short audio pastiches daily on their Sportsound programme featuring new interviews with former Scottish national team players along with rebroadcasting some audio caught in the moment after some big matches.

Another Scotland game, more howls of anguish.
"We were robbed/cheated/denied natural footballing justice."
Scotland v Czech Republic followed that old familiar pattern and we all felt rank rotten at the end.
Football's an emotional game and Scotland can tease emotions like few other teams.

Ronald Koeman lookalike Kevin Blom would be well advised not to book any future holidays in Scotland after the Dutch referee all but ended Scotland's hopes of making it to the Euro 2012 finals.

With just seconds of injury time remaining and Craig Levein's men headed for a 2-1 victory courtesy of strikes from Kenny Miller and Darren Fletcher, Jan Rezak's dodgy dive was deemed worthy of a spot-kick by Blom.

Nicklas Bendtner started in the centre forward role this evening wearing the trademark no.11 top he usually don's for his native country, in his first game in pre-season all summer. The Dane's travelled to Glasgow, Scotland to take on the Tartan Army. It was all one way traffic in the first twenty mins with Denmark taking control passing the ball with fluidity around the pitch, Scotland couldn't get near them at times, Eriksen, Kvist, C.

Forgive the Tartan Army should they be slightly pessimistic about Scotland's chances of qualification following the draw for the 2014 World Cup in Brazil. While Three Lions supporters expect to see England qualify, only to bow out in the quarterfinals or encounter heartache over phantom goals and botched penalties, Scottish supporters have not seen Saint Andrew's Cross fly in the World Cup since 1998.

Robbie Keane's 49th international goal saw Ireland claim the inaugural Carling Nations Cup with a 1-0 win over Scotland.
Keane grabbed the winner midway through the first half after running 30 yards and firing low under Allan McGregor.
The skipper's place in the history books in international goals scored owes much to the work of the much-maligned Paul McShane.

"Scotland win trophy."
You don't hear that often.
There is a chance you will tonight though.
And perhaps we could even keep the Carling Nations Cup in perpetuity.
Friday night's attendance for the Wales v Northern Ireland game was 529. That leaves the total attendance for the tournament's five games so far hovering around the 60,000 mark.

13 years ago today Walter Smith took his leave of Rangers. After season upon season of success his reign fizzled out.
Wim Jansen led Celtic to the league title, stalling Smith's Rangers on nine championships in a row.
In Smith's final game Hearts took the Scottish Cup with a 2-1 victory.

Long suffering Scottish football fans still reminisce about Archie Gemmill's wondergoal against the Netherlands in the 1978 World Cup and the Tartan Army have been starved of participation in a major international competition since the 1998 World Cup in France thirteen years ago. With the qualifiers for next year's European Championships in Poland and Ukraine four matches in and the draw for the 2014 World Cup in July, what are Scotland's chances of making the cut (see the BetUS sportsbook for the latest odds)?

Brazil may be in for a testing time when they face Scotland at Arsenal's Emirates stadium on Sunday. After recent poor results, coach Mano Menezes could be feeling a bit jittery when his team take to the pitch against a backdrop of the massed ranks of the Tartan Army.

Until now Menezes has enjoyed popular support.

That's it confirmed then.
Faroe Islands hammered. Northern Ireland hammered.
So the obvious next step for Craig Levein's re-born Scotland team is to tackle Brazil.

A tenth meeting between the two.

Manchester United is reportedly considering a summer move for Liverpool and Tottenham target Charlie Adam.
The Blackpool captain has been in impressive form during his debut Barclays Premier League season and – despite missing out on the chance to leave Bloomfield Road in January – he seems almost certain to depart when the transfer window reopens.

A new dawn for an attacking Scotland?
Craig Levein had already been musing a change in emphasis before last night's win in Dublin, dictated by the players at his disposal. This was taken to mean no repeat of the 4-6-0 formation he used against Czech Republic.
But, as guest blogger Craig Cairns argues below, we should be cutting Levein more slack for his willingness to experiment.
