Gary Caldwell to captain Scotland

Wigan Athletic defender Gary Caldwell will captain Scotland in their friendly with Slovenia on Wednesday evening.

The 29-year-old will take the armband in the absence of the unwell Darren Fletcher and Kenny Miller, who will start on the bench after his exertions in the Carling Cup final on Sunday.

"Fletch is the captain and Kenny is the vice-captain so they are obviously the men in possession and I am 100% behind them, but to get it for one night will be special," Caldwell told Sky Sports News.

Caldwell has 46 international caps to his name.
