Tomas Ujfalusi is hoping for an entertaining match when his Czech Republic side host George Burley's Scotland in Friday's friendly.Ujfalusi crossed paths with Rangers in the semi-final of the UEFA Cup this year and was frustrated by their defensive style of play over the two legs.

After 210 minutes of football failed to separate the two clubs, it was Rangers who progressed to the final after winning a tense penalty shoot-out in Florence.

This match acts as the Czechs' final warm-up before this summer's European Championship and he has urged the strikers to be out of the traps quickly to avoid a repeat of the meetings with Rangers.

"I don't know if Scotland play in the same style as Rangers," said the stand-in skipper.

"If they do, that means nine players staying in their half of the pitch. Offensively, we just have to play more quickly and pass the ball as quickly as possible in the opposition's half."

Ujfalusi may have been unimpressed by Rangers' style of play but admits they are opponents he will not forget in a hurry.

"We were close to the final and I can say it was the most disappointing moment of my career," said the defender.

Ujfalusi was handed the captain's armband for Tuesday's friendly against Lithuania after usual skipper Tomas Rosicky was ruled out of Euro 2008 following a knee operation.

The defender has now turned his focus to international matters and insists the Czechs must do better after a disappointing performance against Lithuania, despite the 2-0 win.

He said: "We have seen the video from the Lithuania match and we know we didn't play at our best defensively.

"Our opponents had two good chances. But we know where we made the mistakes and we will play better against Scotland."

Coach Karel Bruckner, who is set to retire after the summer, is planning to experiment with his line-up tonight in a bid to learn his strongest side.

He said: "We have had a couple of test matches and now we would like to use the players who didn't play in those matches.

"We will try a different tactical play from before and use different players who did not play the full match against Lithuania."

But he warned: "It is an international match and we would like to test our players - but we also want to win."

And he believes the friendly against Scotland will still be a worthwhile exercise, even though Burley's squad has been decimated by call-offs.

Burley has suffered from numerous withdrawals since taking over and heads into this game with a very different side from the one who narrowly failed to qualify last year under Alex McLeish.

James McFadden, Alan Hutton, Steven Fletcher and Rangers trio Kevin Thomson, Steven Whittaker and Kris Boyd all pulled out of the trip to Prague, while a long-term ankle problem meant skipper Barry Ferguson was not named in the squad either.

But veteran coach Bruckner insisted: "I believe Scotland will be strong opponents. They have very good players who played well in the qualifying campaign.

"They didn't qualify but, in my opinion, Scotland are one of the top teams in Europe."
