George Burley says it is 'ridiculous' that Scotland's 2010 World Cup qualifying fixture against Norway next year has been moved. Scotland were originally due to face their Group 9 rivals in Oslo on 19th August, but Fifa has brought the game forward by a week. The change was required after Uefa altered its Champions League dates, but the Scottish FA asked Fifa to switch the Norway fixture to October.

After Playing 4-4-1-1 against Macedonia, 4-3-3 against Iceland, and 4-5-1 against Norway, and now 4-4-2 angainst Argentina, one has to wonder if George Burley is ever going to play the same formation for more than one game, thus creating the fluidity and consistancy that Scotland were so obviously missing last night at Hampden Park.

Good News! Scotland boss George Burley has confirmed Barry Ferguson will return to the side for Wednesday's friendly with Argentina. Ferguson has not played since the Italy game last year at Hampden park because of injury, but is now ready to make his first start under new manager George Burley.
