Scotland captain Darren Fletcher wants to beat Belgium for Craig Levein

Fletcher wants to win for Levein

Darren Fletcher has declared that Scotland are desperate to beat Belgium to ease the pressure on beleaguered boss Craig Levein.

Scotland suffered a heartbreaking late defeat to Wales in their last qualifier to pile the pressure on Levein, a position not lost on Fletcher.

The Manchester United midfielder made his return to the international setup in the Wales match after a prolonged spell on the sidelines with a bowel disease.

He told Sky Sports News that the players will fight for Levein in Brussels tomorrow night.

Fletcher said: "We are desperate for the performance and the win for the manager because we believe in him as a team, as a group.

"We've seen the work he puts in, the way he treats the players, the attention to detail that goes into every game.

"The players are fully behind the manager. I don't think we could be better prepared for matches than we are. I honestly believe that."

The Scots need a positive result against table-topping Belgium to keep alive any hopes of qualifying for the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.
