European nations we rarely play

I seem to remember us always drawing a Baltic nation in qualifying from approximately 1996 through to about 2006? 

 

In my head we are rarely drawn against Portugal - and I guess that's another strand; competitive fixtures vs friendlies 

WC 98 - Latvia and Estonia

Euro 2000- Lithuania and Estonia

WC 2002 - Latvia

Euro 2004 - Lithuania

we've since drawn Lithuania in 2008, 2012, and 2018 qualifiers but never again Latvia or Estonia.

I think I was at a 0-0 draw vs Portugal that was played at Ibrox around 1993? 

It was that interesting I'm not really sure of my attendance or the scoreline.

Think we played Italy and got the same result in the same venue and campaign.

We did.

I attended both.  Not disastrous results in themselves, but we lost the corresponding away fixtures heavily and never really threatened to qualify.  Portugal who, as previously mentioned, beat us 5-0 in the campaign, didn't qualify either.  Italy and Switzerland did.

I turned 24 during the World cup finals and it was the first we'd missed in my lifetime.

Did we not play Portugal, early 90's , I was only a kid then but something is making me mind Gough getting sent off and them skudding us 5-0 or something like that.

That was the infamous night George Cadete tore us a new Arsehole , and Roxburgh declared " a team died out there"

I went to 3 of the WC 98 qualifiers at home, my first Scotland games, and we won all 3.

1-0 v Sweden at Ibrox

2-0 v Austria at Parkhead

2-0 v Latvia at Parkhead

Glorious.

We played Estonia at Rugby Park (2-0) and Belarus at Pittodrie (4-1) as well.

I just checked and we’ve never played Hungary in qualifiers or at a tournament. Friendlies only.

Must be due them.

I see that’s already been covered. I’ll move along.
