Changing Room Chat: Casanova can be a lucky charmer

SCOTLAND’S chances in their under-17 Elite Group of Qualifying could well depend on the performance of the wonderfully-named referee Johnny Casanova.

The Scots won their first game when they defeated Lithuania 1-0 with the San Marino official in charge and he now takes control of tonight’s game between Denmark and the Lithuanians at Somerset Park. Casanova, who shares his name with a cartoon character dubbed The Unstoppable Sex Machine, is also the fourth official for Sunday’s clash between Scotland and Denmark.
