Scotland head to Cyprus for friendly

Time is running out for Scottish football fans to book cheap villas in Cyprus if they want to catch their team's friendly with Cyprus on Friday.

The squad have already headed out to the island, but there is still time for fans to make the trip and catch their heroes in action at the Antonis Papadopoulos Stadium, in Larnaca.

Scotland narrowly missed out on a European Championship playoffs spot this year so are making use of the international break with a game against Cyprus.

The Scotland boss Craig Levein views the match as the first step in preparation for the 2014 World Cup qualifying campaign, which starts next year.

Many have claimed the friendly is not a worthwhile trip for the Scottish side, but the coaching staff have claimed the squad will have three or four days together.

But, the most important thing for the team and the travelling fans is that they pick up a good win and keep up the feel-good factor.

Tourists staying in Cyprus villas can also take a trip to the Agios Neofytos Monastery when they are not watching the game, which showcases the island's history.
