Scotland set Japan date

Scotland will take on Japan in a friendly international on October 10, the Scottish Football Association revealed on Sunday.
Both sides will hope the fixture in Japan, at a venue yet to be confirmed, will form part of their preparations for the 2010 World Cup.
Scotland are currently second in their European qualifying group, eight points behind Holland, and have a chance of securing a play-off place, while Japan are two points behind leaders Australia in their Asian qualifying section.
The visit to Japan will mark a return to the scene of Scotland's successful 2006 Kirin Cup campaign, when the Scots won a three-team tournament also involving Japan and Bulgaria.
"The Scottish FA are delighted to confirm that Scotland will travel to the Far East to play an International Challenge match against Japan in October this year," a statement on the SFA website announced.
