Scotland’s Men’s international hockey team’s quest to qualify for the Hockey World Cup soon gets underway, as the team enters the final phase of preparation for March’s World League 2 tournament in Ireland by taking on Russia in Spain.

Scotland will play Russia three times in test matches on the 15th, 16th, and 18th January. The Scots will play in World League 2, held in Belfast on 11 March to 19 March.
