Czech Republic general manager Vladimir Smicer hopes to turn Scotland's fans against their own players when the sides meet at Hampden in the Euro 2012 qualifiers - just as he did 11 years ago.
Smicer scored in his country's 2-1 win in Glasgow in Euro 2000 qualifying in March 1999, a game which saw the former midfielder's soon-to-be Liverpool team-mate Gary McAllister booed by sections of the Tartan Army for what they perceived as an over-cautious performance.
"I think psychologically we had won the game against Scotland when they started to boo Gary," said Smicer of McAllister, who was so incensed he quit international football. "I am always happy when I feel the home fans are not supporting their team."
He added: "Glasgow is a hard place to visit. I remember scoring in that game but I remember it was a tough game and we only won 2-1. Scotland were also 2-0 up in the return game but we managed to win 3-2.
"We have a lot of respect for Scotland after those games. It is always hard to play in the British Isles, even if the atmosphere is good for the players."
The former Reds midfielder added: "I played with Gary at Liverpool a couple of years later and I know what a good guy he is.
"It was so sad to hear someone being booed in his home game. It is always good for a team when you hear the fans of the other team unhappy."
