Berra in Scotland Squad for Czech Republic Friendly - Ipswich Town News

Town centre-half Christophe Berra has been named in the Scotland squad for their friendly against the Czech Republic in Prague on Thursday 24th March.

However, the 31-year-old will not come up against his Blues team-mate Jonas Knudsen when the Scots face Denmark at Hampden Park the following Tuesday with manager Gordon Strachan having named separate 19-man squads for each match and Berra only included in the party for the first game.

Berra has previously won 31 full Scotland caps and has scored three international goals.
