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.

Always grateful when i get called up for Scotland 👍🏻 31 caps and counting ⚽️⚽️
