Dinamo Kiev, Dnipro & Shakhtar Donetsk I'd have said. Metalist have only been in Europa I think.

 

(Those are the only four I can think of anyway)

Dynamo Kyiv (13 League titles) and Shakhtar Donetsk (7 League titles) are both correct.

But not Dnipro or Shakhtar.

The remaining club won the first Ukrainian Championship in 1991-92.

Scotland 0 England 2 Scholes 2

 

England 0 Scotland 1 Hutchison

 

I remember the second game vividly as I watched some of it in a bar on Ko Samui, Thailand, it was the last time Scots and English have met in any kind of fixture I'm sure. Also the same night Ireland lost to Turkey in another play off on away goals I remember, it was a bad night for Celtic cousins

Yes, Paul Scholes scored twice for England at Hampden Park & Don Hutchison scored for Scotland at Wembley.

The teams will next meet in August 2013.

Was Kanchelskis the other one? Or was he Russian?

He was born in the Ukraine but he played his international football for the Soviet Union, the Commonwealth of Independent States and Russia.

Alex Evtushok (Coventry City, 1996–97), Oleg Luzhny (Arsenal & Wolverhampton Wanderers, 1999–2004), Sergei Rebrov (Tottenham Hotspur, 2000–02), Andriy Shevchenko (Chelsea, 2006–10) and Andriy Voronin (Liverpool, 2007–10).

Which players scored the goals in November 1999 in the England v Scotland play-off matches for Euro 2000?

As part of The FA’s 150th anniversary celebrations in 2013, England have confirmed they will once again play Scotland at Wembley, as they rekindle international football’s oldest rivalry.

The fixture is the first to be confirmed ahead of what will be a spectacular year of blue-chip international matches at Wembley, as well as further events around England to commemorate the landmark year.

The pair will play each other at Wembley on Wednesday 14 August 2013.

England manager Roy Hodgson said: “I am privileged to be manager of England at UEFA Euro 2012 and it will be another huge honour to lead our nation out against our oldest rivals. For us, England versus Scotland is one of the finest fixtures in international football and I know what this game means to both sets of supporters.

“It will be a fitting part of The FA’s 150th anniversary celebrations and the supporters, the team and my coaching staff all look forward to welcoming Scotland to Wembley Stadium next year.”

Scotland’s National Team Coach, Craig Levein, believes his squad will relish the challenge of this historic fixture.

He said: “For any Scotland supporter, player or coach, Scotland versus England is the ultimate contest: it really is as good as it gets. I am thrilled that we have reached agreement with The FA to play at Wembley as part of their 150th Anniversary celebrations and I am sure the supporters will be there in their tens of thousands.

“Our match against Brazil at the Emirates Stadium in London last year was a tremendous spectacle and I was overwhelmed by the support we had that day. This is an even more mouth-watering prospect for all concerned and the players will be desperate to record another famous victory at Wembley.

“It will also be the best test possible before we resume our FIFA World Cup Qualifying campaign next year.”

England and Scotland are international football’s oldest opponents. They met in the first official match ever played.

The original staging of this fixture took place at the ground of the West of Scotland Cricket Club at Partick, near Glasgow, on Saturday, 30 November 1872. In the previous month The FA Committee had formally agreed to send a representative team, “in order to further the interests of The Association in Scotland”.

Bell’s Life saw it as “one of the jolliest, one of the most spirited and most pleasant matches that has ever been played according to Association rules”. There was a crowd of nearly 4,000 and it finished in a 0-0 draw.

The teams have now met on 110 occasions, most recently in 1999 when Scotland won 1-0 in the second leg of a UEFA Euro 2000 Qualifying Play-Off at Wembley. England has won 45 times, Scotland 41 times and there have been 24 draws.

Scotland’s ‘Wembley Wizards’ were 5-1 winners in 1928 but an England side managed by Walter Winterbottom thumped the Scots 9-3, also at Wembley, to clinch the British Championship trophy in 1961. A colossal attendance of 149,547, still a British record, saw Scotland win 3-1 at Glasgow’s Hampden Park in 1937.

Full history of England v Scotland matches 1872-2013

Shevchenko, Rebrov, Luzhny, Voronin. I'm unsure who the other is, I think maybe another one for Spurs, as I remember Rebrov saying to a player to watch out around the area, but that might of been to Shev.

Oleg Luzhny (Arsenal & Wolves, 1999–2004), Sergei Rebrov (Tottenham Hotspur, 2000–02), Andriy Shevchenko (Chelsea, 2006–10) and Andriy Voronin (Liverpool, 2007–10) are all correct.
