Scots lament tough draw

SCOTLAND were landed with the draw they dreaded after being paired with Holland in the Euro 2004 play-offs while Wales have high hopes of making the finals following their draw with Russia.

Scotland boss Berti Vogts claims Holland are one of the favourites to go all the way in the competition, and their coach Dick Advocaat knows everything about Scottish football from his time in charge of Rangers.

Vogts said: "This is probably one of the toughest draws in the group but it is still just two games. The Netherlands are one of the favourites to win Euro 2004 and we are the underdogs but anything can happen and we have a chance.
