Scotland returns to the scene of one of their worst-ever games
Faroes manager Jogvan Martin Olsen has denied that the Faroe Islands are trying to play mind games with Scotland by forcing them to return to the scene of one of their worst-ever games.While Italy played their match in the new Torsvollur Stadium in Torshavn on Saturday, Scotland have to return to Svangaskard Stadium, where they have twice failed to record a win.
The first attempt during Craig Brown’s reign back in 1999 ended in a 1-1 draw, but there was worse to come three years later when Berti Vogts was in charge.
Scotland trailed by two John Petersen goals after just 12 minutes and could have been further behind by half-time before second-half goals from Paul Lambert and Barry Ferguson scraped a 2-2 draw.
