I think like 0762 that it has been coming. They have toiled recently against teams from azerbaijan and kazakhstan in recent campaigns. You can prepare well but still toil being thrown onto a difficult surface in 40 degree heat at this stage of the season against committed opponents. So i think the timing of these games is still a factor although even the champions of scotland should never be worrying too much about a game like that.

What was interesting was afters rodgers didn't give it deilas 'the players froze' line,instead he opted to just downplay it completely. Interesting approach. A massive wake up call for him.
