Darren Fletcher: 'Scotland confident of qualification'

Scotland captain Darren Fletcher says that his team are still confident of qualifying for the 2018 World Cup, despite only drawing with Lithuania on Saturday.

Scotland captain Darren Fletcher has insisted that their draw against Lithuania on Saturday night could still prove to be a "massive point".

The Tartan Army were expected to beat the minnows but they only claimed a share of the spoils thanks to a late goal from James McCarthur.

However, Fletcher remains upbeat about the remainder of their World Cup qualifying campaign as they prepare to face Slovakia on Tuesday evening.

The 32-year-old told reporters: "We showed great character to come back from a goal down and it could turn out to be a massive point.

"We come here confident and if we were to win, it would be massive. We are still right in this group, still fighting and still believe in ourselves."

Fletcher is a doubt for the fixture through injury.
