Scotland vs Spain venue hint for Euro 2024 qualifier as Steve Clarke's men look set for city with painful memories for our club sides

The Tartan Army could be the latest Scots to launch an invasion of Seville after the Spanish FA president announced they will play against Scotland in Andalusia.

And he's hinted the game could take place in Seville's Estadio La Cartuja, where Celtic played against Porto in the UEFA Cup Final 20 years ago.

Spain will play four home qualifiers for Euro 2024 this year and they have confirmed venues this week for three of them - against Norway in Malaga, Cyprus in Santander and Georgia in Valladolid - but not the stadium for the match against Steve Clarke's side in October. However, Spanish FA president Luis Rubiales has confirmed the game against Scotland will definitely be in the southern region of Andalusia.

He said: "We are going to play in Valladolid against Georgia and in Santander against Cyprus and we will play Scotland in Andalusia.

"We have an agreement with the region that we will play games there this year and we also have a commitment to play at the Estadio La Cartuja, which has been a forgotten stadium that is now revitalised and will hopefully be one of the host venues for the 2030 World Cup."

Both Celtic and Rangers took over 100,000 fans to Seville for their European finals, which they both lost against Porto and Eintracht Frankfurt respectively.

Rangers fans were furious at the lack of facilities last year at their Europa League Final against Frankfurt which was held at Seviila's home ground - the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan Stadium. Spain last used the Estadio La Cartuja for an important World Cup qualifier against Sweden in 2021.
