Does anyone have an answer as to why we don't have fixtures on that Saturday??

I think it's maybe the international WC play offs?

Wishful thinking I would suggest.

Here it is:

The first legs will be played on 9–11 November, and the second legs will be played on 12–14 November 2017. The winner of each tie will qualify for the World Cup.

Basically a mini winter break for the Scottish boys.

Or more likely weekend on the lash.

So in the likely event Scotland aren't actually participating, maybe the Clubs should bring some games forward

Probably too short notice and it'd depend on how many other internationals teams have - Norther Ireland and wales/ROI have a chance of being involved for a start.

Maybe Strachan will organise a friendly?

Or
If we win on Tuesday, and Scotland aren't involved in the play offs (hope we are though), the away game against Killie on 21st October will be postponed. Maybe that could be played on 11th Nov?

In honour of my birthday?

Under 19's and 21's have Euro qualifiers that weekend as well, so unlikely there will be a game

Scotland playing a friendly in Aberdeen on November 9th. Iceland or Netherlands the rumoured opponents.

What a needless fixture that will be. It's annoying enough to see Hibs' rhythm disrupted by the qualifiers but for a meaningless friendly it just seems daft.

You would think a break from international games would be better in the current circumstances. However, as a big Scotland fan who lives in Aberdeen I’m actually happy at the news.

There was always a space there for the play-off's though, it wasn't put in just for this friendly. Although I agree, international weekends are bad enough when there is a competitive Scotland game(s) to watch - an international break with no relevance is a bit disappointing.
