“It’ll be a good game when we play each other.

“I’m sure we’ll be on the phone afterwards or maybe at each other’s house and we’ll have a laugh.”

Reynolds has lived in Wales during his days at Newport but Scotland will be a new experience.

“You never know what can come from it,” said the forward, who’s agreed a one-year deal.
