So pots have been announced - http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/25882895

From first look this looks like the easiest possible draw we could get (IMO)

England
Republic or Ireland
Isreal
Scotland
Cyprus
Gibraltar

And this would be nightmare....

Spain
Belgium
Turkey
Scotland
Iceland
Kazakhstan


Thoughts?

Agree we would want to avoid Spain and Belgium but having England appeals to me and might bring the best out of us

Scotland have shown that on occasion they can pull it off, eg. Croatia. We'll most likely get a group somewhere between those two scenarios and I honestly think that with Strachan's input and an enlarged format there's no reason we can't qualify.

A group including us, England, Norn Iron and the RoI could be interesting :greengrin. No Wales as they had the nerve to end up in the same pot as us.

Bring it on. I feel a lot more positive about Scotland's chances since we got rid of Potter

I would fancy our chances in that group.

The group winners, runners-up, and the best third-placed team (with the results against the sixth-placed team discarded) directly qualify to the finals.

So we could finish THIRD and still potentially qualify :hmmm:

It's

Bosnia
Hungary
Slovakia
Scotland
Cyprus
San Marino

For me. A good mixture of new places to visit and a decent shout for qualification.
