Diary

Wednesday, 28 March 1962 - Scotland's International Selection Committee have chosen nineteen players from which they will choose eleven to face England at Hampden Park on 14 April. Only three are not already full Internationals - The Celtic's Kennedy and Divers, and Rangers' Millar. The announcement was made shortly after it became known that Celtic and Rangers would play their postponed Scottish League game on April 10, four days before the International.

Wednesday, 4 April 1962 - Denis Law, Torino's brilliant Scottish Internationalist inside forward, may be able to play for Scotland against England, it was announced yesterday by Mr W. P. Allan, the secretary of the Scottish Football Association. He siad that he had been telephoned yesyerday by Mr G. Peronace, and official of the Torino club. Mr Peronace said that Turin would be prepared to release Law if his club came through their match on Sunday without any serious injuries and provided that they had enough fit players to fulfill their fixture the following Sunday. The SFA are expecting a definite reply to their request on Monday.

Monday, 9 April 1962 - Torino today gave Denis Law permission to play for Scotland against England. The club's announcement said that Law would leave for London by plane tomorrow morning and return on Tuesday. The SFA will choose their team to play England tomorrow.

Tuesday, 10 April 1962 - Rangers and Celtic between them provide six of the players in the Scotland team to meet England on Saturday. The selection is as expected. Law replaces Brand, and the only other change from the side who beat Wales in November is at centre-half, where McNeill regains his place in preference to Ure. The reserve in attendance will be Tottenham's Dave Mackay, who with Celtic's Duncan MacKay, Dundee's Ure and Motherwell's Paddy Quinn, will accompany the team to Kilmacolm for training.
Tottenham Hotspur, who have Brown, White and Mackay, with the Scotland party and Greaves and Smith playing for England have been granted postponement of their league match with Leicester City on Saturday.
It was also announced by Mr W.P. Allan that there will be no close-season tour for the Scottish International team this season.

Wednesday, 11 April 1962 - Denis Law has been fined 24,000 lire, about �14, and warned by the Italian League for"incorrect behaviour towards an opposing player", the league announced today.

Friday, 13 April 1962 - Dave Mackay, Scotland's travelling reserve, was sent to bed with inflenza after training yesterday with his colleagues on the St. Mirren ground, Paisley. The Spurs wing half complained of feeling unwell during the two hour training session and a doctor was called. He ordered Mackay to bed and he was placed in a room of his own so as to avoid the risk of infection to the other players. A SFA spokesman said that if Mackay was still unfit this morning then they would nominate a replacement as reserve in attendance.

Saturday, 14 April 1962 - The eightieth International football match between Scotland and England will, if the management committee of the English Football League get their way, be the last that will be played on a Saturday. Among the recently published proposals of that body in connection with trying to win back missing spectators is one that all International matches be played in midweek. The SFA have no intention of agreeing with such a proposal, and many of us are glad of that.
