Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and the Republic of
Ireland have agreed to take part in a Four Nations Tournament which
may start from 2011.
The Scottish Football Association revealed discussions
earlier this week with their Welsh, Northern Irish and Republic
counterparts had been productive.
Fixtures already in place for the next two-and-a-half years
prevented the tournament being added to the international schedule
in the near future.
However plans to play Four Nations matches in February and May
in future seasons were given the go-ahead, with the games in each
campaign to be played in the same country and moved between the
nations on a rotational tournament-by-tournament basis.
