Scotland supporters will pay €10 to watch next month's Euro 2008 qualifier against Italy in Bari.

The Scottish Football Association have been allocated an initial 7,400 tickets for the March 28th match, with the possibility of more becoming available if they are all snapped up.

Bari's San Nicola stadium was passed fit to stage the match after modifications were carried out in accordance with government demands.

Stadium security became a priority in Italy following the violent death of a police officer, Filippo Raciti, at the Serie A match between Catania and Palermo on February 2nd.
