Hampden Park will host Scotland's friendly against Costa Rica on March 23, the Scottish FA has announced.

Scotland will prepare for their 2018 UEFA Nations League campaign starting with a clash with Costa Rica, followed by friendlies against Hungary, Peru and Mexico.

The only previous meeting between the two sides ended in a shock 1-0 win for Costa Rica at the 1990 FIFA World Cup in Italy.

The match could be the first for a new Scotland boss, with the side currently without a manager following Gordon Strachan's departure in October.

Sky Sports News understands the SFA board are still intent on finding a new manager in time for the March friendlies.
