Scotland's crucial Euro 2008 qualifier against Italy later this month will be shown on big screens at a party on Glasgow Green.

Tickets for the "Tartan Party" on 17 November go on sale on Saturday and cost �12.

As well as the game being shown, there will be entertainment and a beer garden, plus guest appearances from former Scotland players.

The Scots need a win at Hampden to qualify for the tournament.

Glasgow City Council leader, Steven Purcell said: "This is the biggest Scotland match for a decade or more.

"Everyone will want to see the boys beat Italy and I want to ensure that as many people as possible can share the atmosphere.

"This city is football daft and there's going to be a great party when we welcome our Italian friends here later this month.

"The events planned for Glasgow Green should mean everyone who goes along will have a fantastic time."
