In 1996, Scotland took to the field for a football World Cup qualifying tie in the Estonian capital city of Tallinn. The only problem was that there was no opposition on the other side.
Paul Lambert was one of the Scottish players who had to take part in the so-called match.
He has been sharing his memories of that time with Matt Pintus.
