Scott Brown has been disappointing, but I've seen him play at his best, and I really hope he gets back to that point. He was much better at Hibs than he's been at Celtic, but hopefully he can elevate his game back to its old heights. Hutton was great, as he always is, and I realize that I tend to leave him out of match reports because right back is the one position that I'm always comfortable with. His move to Spurs might be the best thing that has happened to Scotland football this club season, and it's really developing his game. I completely agree, Chris.

It must have been broadcast (on tape delay) due to the popularity Scotland and the Tartan Army enjoy worldwide. I hope Fox Soccer shows the next friendly. Anyway, a draw is a draw, and is more than acceptable considering Scotland was down seven players. Personally, I enjoyed Hutton's play from the right back spot. He did an excellent job accelerating up and down the right side creating opportunities and and keeping the Croat side honest. Ian, who would you have taken off the wing to insert Gary Teale? Scott Brown? I didn't see him do too much. He has a tendency to run around aimlessly and is often caught out of position. That's my take.
