Fletcher promoted by Burley

Scotland boss George Burley has added Hibernian striker Steven Fletcher to his squad for Wednesday's World Cup qualifier in Iceland.

Fletcher has been promoted from the Under-21s after scoring twice in a 3-1 win over Slovenia last Thursday.

Fletcher comes into the squad as Burley monitors the fitness of Rangers forward Kenny Miller and full-back Graham Alexander.

The pair both suffered knocks in Saturday's defeat in Macedonia but Stephen McManus is fit after overcoming an ankle problem.

West Brom's James Morrison, who missed out in Macedonia, is again a doubt with an ankle injury.
