Scotland manager Craig Brown has confirmed that his current 22-,man squad will be the party that will assemble in France on Friday for the World cup finals.

Brown arrived back from the United States yesterday in a buoyant mood after a 10-day, two-match tour. Scotland drew 0-0 with the United States in Washington on Saturday after holding Columbia to a 2-2 draw the previous weekend in New Jersey.

Brown has only had to make one change form his original selection with Celtic keeper Jonathan Gould replacing Andy Gorman, who announced his retirement from the international scene last week.

Scotland face holders Brazil on June 10th with their confidence continuing to grow even though they are without a win in five friendlies since qualifying last October.
