Friendly confirmed with Croatia

Well, we don’t yet have a manager, but as of today, we do know the first test that manager will face, and it’s a big one. Croatia will be headed to Hampden Park on March 26th, as part of their ramp-up for the Euro 2008 finals this summer. I was personally hoping for a bit softer of an opponent for the first friendly under Burns/Burley/McGhee/Souness, and I was hoping that first test would be a bit earlier, but this should be a great match. We have played two matches ever against Croatia, both ending in draws, and so this will be a clash not only for FIFA points but for control of the all-time series as well. I’ll be writing more on this tomorrow, but unfortunately my internet is down and I’m in a coffee shop. Seeing that I hate people that pretentiously write in coffee shops, I’ll be stopping now.
