    Default Scotland 1 - 1 Croatia

    Not a bad start for George Burley earning a draw against a very formidable Croatia side, who are currently ranked two places above us in 12th place of FIFA's world rankings and were a major factor in preventing England from qualifying for the Euro's.

    I thought we played some quite nice stuff at times and always looked a threat going forward. Once again Kenny Miller ran tirelessley for us and even managed to squeeze in a goal. Kriss boyd had a couple of decent chances when he came on.
    All this with 7 withdrawls from the squad, many of which would be first choice players especially the captain Barry Ferguson.

    With England losing to France (a team scotland beat home and away in the euro qualifying campaign) I wonder how the rankings could shake up soon, with Scotland only 3 places behind them.
    Scotland above England in the World rankings would be a great achievement.

    What other rangers players would have started simon, lets face it only Ferguson and he's getting painkilling injections in his ankle.

    Soon the scotland team will be made up off mostly rangers players though.
