Euro 2012: Scotland v Liechtenstein Team News

Tagged under: Euro 2012

Kris Boyd and James McFadden have been recalled to the Scotland team as manager Craig Levein makes three changes from the team that played in Lithuania on Friday. Bookmakers are offering free bets and cash back offers for tonight’s televised match at Hampden Park. Scotland’s new boss will revert to a 4-4-2 formation for tonight’s Euro 2012 qualifier against Liechtenstein as he goes in search of his first competitive win. Criticised for fielding a defensive 4-5-1 in the 0-0 draw in Lithuania on Friday, Levein has opted for a more attacking line up as he goes in search of goals against a side that lost 4-0 at home to Spain. Boyd will make his first appearance for his country in three years and Bet365 offer odds of 10/3 he returns with a bang and scores the first goal of the game. While Liechtenstein are expected to ‘park the bus’ in the first international encounter between the two teams; an early goal could open the floodgates. Kenny Miller netted a hat-trick for Rangers against Hibernian two weeks ago and is available at odds of 20/1 with Victor Chandler to score a hat-trick against the part-timers tonight. Barry Robson and Steven Naismaith drop out of midfield to make way for Levein’s tactical change, while Steve Whittaker misses out at full back with a calf problem. Hearts left back Lee Wallace will step in, having recovered from an ankle injury. Captain Darren Fletcher marks the game with his 50th cap, wary a yellow card will force him out of Scotland’s next qualifier against Czech Republic in Prague. SCOTLAND STARTING XI: McGregor, Hutton, Weir, McManus, Wallace, Brown, D. Fletcher, McCulloch, McFadden, Boyd, Miller
