Our opponents and the dates for the 2018 World Cup qualifiers were decided over the weekend, we begin our campaign on Sunday September 14th 2016 in Malta. The big talking point was being drawn alongside the auld enemy but more importantly we can be quite optimistic that we have a real chance of heading to Russia in the summer of 2018.
In the shorter term we get back to the euro 2016 qualifiers with a trip to Georgia on the 4th September closely followed by welcoming the world champions Germany to Hampden on Monday 7th September. This is a 7.45pm kick off, ETA will be running a bus to the game as normal, leaving from Morrison Link at 1pm with the usual pickups. The deadline for requesting seats on the bus is Monday 24th August with members given priority up to this date. We are expecting this bus to very popular so would appreciate it if you send an email to the bus mailbox as soon as possible so we can determine the size of the 2nd bus. If there are seats still available after the deadline they will be allocated to non members. On the last bus we had a number of non members who didn’t turn up so from now on we will require payment in advance, details of how to pay will be sent out by our bus convener
