Levein said: 'Following the match against Slovenia in February, this provides another opportunity to get the group together ahead of the World Cup 2014 qualifiers in September.

'We will have an extended period together in May, with a training camp in the USA prior to the match on the 26th, which is very important as we prepare for the qualifiers.

'We're all looking forward to this match, which gives us a chance to test ourselves against a nation that is emerging as one of the top sides in world football.'

The countries last met in 2005 at Hampden when Andy Webster scored Scotland's goal in a 1-1 draw.

Their previous meeting in the US was a goalless draw in Washington in 1998.
