1. The Scots should see plenty of birds when they reach the Faroes - birds of the feathered variety that is.

It's a home to many species, including puffins and oystercatchers.

2. Henrik Larsen is the Faroes coach - not the one that plays for Celtic.

The former Danish international midfielder had a spell with Aston Villa, and was part of the Danish team that won Euro 92.

3. The total population of the Faroes is around 45,500 - less than the weekly attendances at Ibrox or Celtic Park and just imagine trying to sort out a footy team off those terraces.

4. The Faroes aren't quite the pushovers they once were.

Not only did they take a point off Scotland in the Euro 2000 qualifiers, they have also beaten the likes of Liechtenstein and Luxembourg, and held Slovenia.
