Darren Fletcher: "We didn't do ourselves justice"

Fletcher: "We didn't do ourselves justice"

Darren Fletcher has admitted that Scotland are "disappointed" by their 3-1 defeat to England in an international friendly at Celtic Park this evening.

Wayne Rooney scored twice for Roy Hodgson's side after Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain broke the deadlock in the first half.

The midfielder told ITV Sport: "We are disappointed, we didn't do ourselves justice. We could have been more patient and passed it better and I think the occasion got the better of us.

"It was a derby match and we wanted to do everyone proud. We lost goals at bad times. Maybe it shows the character from England, you've got to give yourself a chance in games like this.

"We have to learn that we have a way of playing, patient football and being resilient and tough to beat. We have to get back to that but the three points against Ireland were the most important."

Scotland have a four-month break ahead of their next match against Gibraltar in March.
