The Scottish FA have announced a series of friendlies as the national side prepare for the inaugural UEFA Nations League.

First up is a challenge match with Costa Rica on March 23 at home, before travelling to take on Hungary four days later.

They will then cross the Atlantic for two summer fixtures away to Peru and then Mexico.

The Costa Rica friendly could be the first under Scotland's new manager after the SFA held talks with their number one target Michael O'Neill this week.

Scotland have only played Costa Rica once in their history, when the sides met in the group stage of the 1990 World Cup in Italy. The Central America side pulled off a shock with a 1-0 win.

The contest with Scotland forms part of Costa Rica, Peru and Mexico's World Cup preparations, while Hungary are also getting ready for Nations League action.
