WHEN Dynamos last beat Scottland in a league fixture last year, there are many who believed it was sheer luck.
Scottland on paper did not look like a team that could drop points against the then relegation-threatened DeMbare.
For the neutrals, it a was a game that, however, lived to expectations.
Ahead of the Castle Lager Challenge match set for Rufaro on Sunday, a lot of things have changed since then.
- Kelvin Kaindu, who saved Dynamos from relegation, is no longer the coach at the Glamour Boys
- Denver Mukamba, who made a the difference that afternoon, is again back in the wilderness
- Norman Mapeza has since taken over from Tonderai Ndiraya as coach at the ambitious Scottland
- Unlike the last time when DeMbare were feeding on crumbs, this time around they are building towards stability both on and off the pitch
But what remains constant is that Dynamos fans will outnumber Scottland fans.
And the DeMbare fans will still demand a win against the Castle Lager Premiership champions.
Already, tickets for the match are now available.
Tickets for rest of ground section are going for $5, upper grand stand tickets are $10, VIP section is going for $20 while the VVIP entry remains strictly by invitation or accreditation.
Dynamos, who are the most decorated football club on the land, come into this game wearing the Chibuku Super Cup Champions tag.
For league champions Scottland, the match presents an opportunity to test themselves against one of the country’s giants ahead of the new season as they seek to defend their title.
