Former Rangers winger Libor Sionko scored twice as Czech Republic warmed up for Euro 2008 with a hard-earned and deserved victory over Scotland.

Sionko, who had a disappointing time at Ibrox before joining Copenhagen, stole into the box and slipped the ball past Craig Gordon after 60 minutes.

Michal Kadlec's drive put the Czechs further ahead before David Clarkson fired a reply on the turn on his debut.

But Sionko ended Scots hopes of a comeback by prodding in his second.

Sionko and Rudi Skacel, who played under Scotland manager George Burley at Hearts, had been given their chance to impress in the Prague friendly against some of their old Scottish Premier League foes.
