LONDON (Reuters) - Proud Scot Andy Murray will be guaranteed a rousing reception after Glasgow was chosen as the venue for Britain's Davis Cup first round tie against the United States next March.

The Emirates Arena in Glasgow, 40 kilometres from Murray's home town of Dunblane, will stage the clash -- a repeat of this year's first round when Britain caused a surprise by ousting the U.S. 3-1 in San Diego.
