A Hampden Park send-off for a World Cup-bound Scotland team may not bring back the greatest of memories for football fans north of the border, Ally's Tartan Army and all that, but there is sure to be a great atmosphere at the famous old ground on Tuesday 28 May when Scotland's Women take on Jamaica in their final match before France 2019.
It is inevitable that Shelley Kerr's team will be contrasted to the current woes of Scotland's Men but they deserve to be praised on their own merits for a first ever World Cup qualification and England manager Phil Neville will know that his side face a tough test in the opening game in Group D, in Nice on 9 June.
Scotland recently notched a landmark friendly win against Brazil and one early preview I have seen of this summer's tournament has them down as dark horses given the quality of players at Kerr's disposal.
Tickets for the Hampden game, which kicks-off at 7.35pm, are priced at just £5 Adults and £2 Concessions.
One other international line on the Women's game in Scotland is that the UEFA Women's Under-19 European Championship will be held north of the border between 16-28 July with matches taking place at McDiarmid Park (Perth) Forthbank Stadium (Stirling), Firhill (Glasgow), with the final taking place at St Mirren Park (Paisley).
