HB Torshavn of the Faroe Islands head to Fir Park for Thursday's Conference League second-round qualifier and, while many of the home crowd may not be up to speed on their Faroese domestic football, they may also be wondering how their own side will set up. "I'm really looking forward to it," Halliday told the BBC's Scottish Football Podcast.
Hibernian's summer recruits are looking good and it's down to the "fantastic job" being done by sporting director Malky Mackay, reckons Andy Halliday. Ahead of the Leith side's return to competitive action in the Conference League second qualifying round first leg against Malisheva in Kosovo, head coach David Gray has some selection headaches. Key creator Nicky Cadden is one of the core squad members ruled out with injury, but former Hearts and Motherwell midfielder Halliday anticipates the summer reinforcements filling the void well, particularly at the top end of the park.
The Scots sit on one win and one defeat so far and face Brazil on Wednesday (23: BST). "If we just get that 10% more out of the group and that's all it is for me, I think we can go deep in this tournament," former Hearts, Motherwell and Rangers midfielder Halliday told the BBC's Scottish Football Podcast.
Former Premiership midfielders Scott Allan and Andy Halliday expect a change of shape from Scotland in Friday's second World Cup Group C fixture against Morocco. The Scots opened with a 1-0 win against Haiti, courtesy of John McGinn's deflected goal, while Morocco drew 1-1 with Brazil.
German Rohl has been heavily linked with RB Salzburg and Hearts' McInnes with Rangers. McInnes played for Rangers in the late 1990s and joined Hearts - his fifth club as a manager - last summer, leading the Tynecastle side to a runners-up place in the Scottish Premiership.
Recently retired former Hearts, Motherwell and Rangers midfielder Andy Halliday played under his fair share of managers. "Quite often you'll just talk about your non-negotiables, you'll talk about the club culture, what you want to bring to the group, whether it's a fine system, it's your style of play, your system," Halliday told the BBC's Scottish Football Podcast.
Midfielder Andy Halliday expects Motherwell to already have "three or four names in the frame" to replace manager Jens Berthel Askou following his move to Ligue 1 Toulouse. Halliday, who called time on his playing career following the conclusion of the current campaign, is sad to see the 43-year-old leave Fir Park after a stunning season.
