It's Draw Time Again...

It's time for that wonderful bi-annual experience...

Every second year, the names are shoved into the proverbial (and increasingly sophisticated) hat and Scotland are drawn out yet again in the Group of Death.

What difference will this draw make? What wonderful trips to highly priced Euro zone countries can we look forward to?

What about something different this year for Euro 2012. I mean is there really any need to be drawn against  Lithuania again?

I'm going for easyJet and Ryanair destinations so the draw needs to be Germany, Sweden, SCOTLAND, Belgium and from pot five it'll have to be Montenegro. If we're unlucky enough to have another game I think it would have to then be Andorra for the duty free shopping and there's always flights to Toulouse and Girona.

So that's it by Monday morning the Record will be running a headline saying something crass like "Scots in Pole Position After Euro Draw." and we'll have to search for another Tartan Army single for Children in Need...God Forbid.

Anyway here's the basic info required -

Draw on Sky Sports from 10.15am on Sunday. The nine group winners plus the top runner-up team will go through.  The remaining 8 teams will take part in a home and away playoff on the 11/12th and 15th November 2011. The pots are as follows:
