Brazil is set to play Scotland for the first time since the 1998 World Cup in a friendly in March.

The match, which will be played at Arsenal's Emirates Stadium on Sunday, March 27, will come at the end of a five-day training camp for the Brazilians at Spain's La Manga resort.

The Scottish Football Association says the final contract details are still being concluded, but announced that tickets will go on sale next week.

Scotland coach Craig Levein says his squad "will relish the prospect of testing their skills against one of the finest international teams in world football."
