The last time a group of Scots came down to England for a match this big, Manchester was completely trashed, and Rangers went home with a heartbreaking loss in the 2008 UEFA Cup Final to Zenit St. Petersburg.
While there won’t be 150,000 visiting fans in London Friday, there will be a significant Scottish presence at the Group D clash at Wembley.
On the pitch, England really should be taking care of business pretty easily (and I would think they hope so off of it as well).
In the early contest, which is a Group E affair, Slovakia can move into the knockout stages with a victory, which would be its second of the group. Sweden, fresh off a draw with Spain, could move to the top of the table with a win as well.
I like Sweden here in a low-scoring win.
