Ghana Vrs Scotland Tonight

Ghana's under-21 team play their Sottish counterparts, at Queen of the South's Palmerston Park ground on Monday.

The Scottish Coach, Rainer Bonhof will hope another scratch side can exceed expectations in tonight?s friendly encounter.

The young Scots? 2-0 triumph in their opening Euro 2004 qualifying tie on Friday maintained Bonhof?s encouraging record in charge of the youths.

Indeed, Ghana may sound an unusual choice of opposition, but the German has links with the African nation and believes they have a testing level of skill.

"Three years ago I was involved in business talks with them so I know a lot about them," said Bonhof . "Three years is a long time in football but I expect they will play with an individual style. None of them will have problems on the ball but our chance will come if we put them under pressure and make them nervous.

"After the win in Iceland there is a confidence and the boys are doing excellently.
