Football / FIFA World Cup 2010 / European Qualifying Group 9 / Reykjavik, Iceland / Wed 10 Sept / 18:30 GMT Scotland’s famous followers are well known for their sense of humour. But even the Tartan Army will struggle to raise a smile if their lads catch a chill in Reykjavik. Coach George Burley kicked off his spell in charge with a 1-0 defeat in Macedonia and another here would leave his side bottom of Group Nine - facing tough games against Norway and group favourites Holland to follow. It’s now 10 years since the Scots qualified for a major tournament, and with Barcelona star Eidur Gudjohnsen finding his scoring form in a 2-2 draw with the Norwegians on Saturday, they will have to be at their best to get this campaign back on track. Lee McCulloch hung up his Scotland boots on Monday and Rangers team-mate Kenny Miller is a doubt through injury. So Burley has called up Hibernian forward Steven Fletcher to boost his striking options.
