Fletcher out of Scotland match

Scotland captain Darren Fletcher has been ruled out of Saturday's Euro 2012 qualifier against Liechtenstein, the Scottish Football Association have confirmed.

The Manchester United midfielder has yet to join up with the rest of the squad after being struck down with tonsilitis.

However, Scotland manager Craig Levein is hopeful he will be available for their final Group I game against Spain in Alicante on Tuesday night.
