Georges Leekens, Belgium coach
It’s a group where every team is capable of beating everyone else, but also of losing points to everyone else. Croatia and Serbia are two very difficult opponents. We mustn’t underestimate Macedonia to ensure we don’t drop points. Scotland and Wales can play good football. We need to be prepared to try and beat everyone, because it’s something you have to be able to do if you want to qualify. So I’m fairly happy. Everyone will have to be at their best.
Craig Levein, Scotland manager
It could have been worse. With a draw like this we’ll have a lot of homework to do in preparation for the matches, and I wouldn’t dare to make any predictions at this early stage. I have faith in my team. They’re talented and have a collective determination to succeed, but we’ll have to work very hard. Belgium are probably the toughest opponent from pot three. We’ll also be up against two very good teams in Croatia and Serbia. All of these opponents will provide very tough challenges for my team. There was a lot of intrigue before the draw, and we were quickly paired with fellow home nation Wales. That will be a particularly exciting tie for the fans.
