Darren Fletcher: 'I did everything I could to stop Scotland wearing pink

This is a modal window.

Scotland boss Gordon Strachan reveals who made the best Scottish debut he's ever seen after his side edged Slovenia.

Darren Fletcher has said he attempted to persuade the Scottish Football Association to abandon their controversial pink away strip for last November's World Cup qualifier against England at Wembley and insisted it would be 'disgraceful' if FIFA rules force the Scots to wear the same colours against the 'Auld Enemy' at Hampden Park in June.

Scotland captain Fletcher led the team out at Wembley in the fluorescent pink outfit after FIFA ruled that the white sleeves on their predominantly dark blue home shirt clashed with England's white kit.
