Bilic to calm Croatia nerves with trip to Big Ben

Croatia coach Slaven Bilic is ready to take his players off for another excursion before their World Cup qualifier against England.

Bilic took his team shopping at Harrods on the day of their last visit to London, when they famously beat Steve McClaren's England 3-2. Since then, it has become a tradition for the Croatia manager to give his team something to do or see to keep them relaxed before a big game.

A Croatia source told the Daily Mail: "Slaven will plan something. It might be a trip to Harrods again or even a trip to Big Ben. But he doesn't believe in keeping the players imprisoned in the hotel."
