SCOTLAND are 9/2 to qualify for the 2010 World Cup ahead of their crunch double header against Macedonia and Holland.

George Burley's men can only finish second in Group 9 and will need to win a play-off game to board the plane to South Africa.

Ladbrokes make them 7/4 to obtain enough points to qualify for the play-off in the next few days and 7/2 to grab all six points.

Spokesman Robin Hutchison said: "Scotland have it all to do but hope springs eternal among patriotic punters and we are seeing a good few quid for them."

The SPL is the 11/8 favourite to provide Scotland's first goalscorer in the game, despite the large number of their players plying their trade in England.

At Wembley, England are 11/8 to score four or more goals in their friendly against Slovenia.

Wayne Rooney is 5/6 to score more goals against them and Croatia than strike partner Jermaine Defoe.

The in-form Tottenham star is 6/4 with 9/2 about neither of them finding the net.

Ladbrokes are also offering 9/2 about any Home Nations player being booked for diving in this weekend's games.
