Craig Levein's second game as Scotland manager will be an away trip to Sweden, the Scottish FA have announced.

Levein won his first match at the helm against the Czech Republic on Wednesday night, and he will now take his side to Sweden on 11th August.

The venue for the game has yet to be decided but it will be three days before the start of the 2010/11 SPL season.

Levein said: "I am looking forward to taking the squad to Sweden in August and given the tremendous response to the win against the Czech Republic, I can't wait for the next game to come along.

"This will be a good test for the players away from home and a positive result will give us the best possible preparation for the Euro 2012 qualification campaign."

Sweden did not qualify for this summer's World Cup in South Africa and are currently 42 in the Fifa world rankings, just three places above Scotland.
