Levein warns players of Wales backlash

Manager Craig Levein has warned Scotland to be wary of being the victims of a Wales backlash in Friday night's World Cup qualifier.

The home nation head into the clash in Cardiff on the back of a 6-1 thrashing at the hands of Serbia in their last game, having also lost their opener to Belgium.

And Levein knows the Welsh will be out to prove a point, saying: "Serbia are an excellent side, they really are, and I was pleased with our performance against them. I knew it would be extremely difficult for Wales going across there to get any sort of result. It was always going to be a really tough fixture. The danger for us, of course, is that Wales get some sort of response from that."
