milan has been busy in the market all season long
We put ourselves in the position we wanted to get in this morning when we spoke about the match."The Spaniards' 2-0 victory over the Czechs on Friday had reignited Scotland's dreams of snatching a play-off place and there was more good news before kick-off as Manchester United midfielder Darren Fletcher got the green light to captain the side after a quicker than expected recovery from tonsillitis.Scotland needed a stoppage time goal from Stephen McManus to beat Liechtenstein when the sides met earlier in the qualifying campaign at Hampden Park.But they were on top in the early stages this time and Mackail-Smith - starting in the absence of injured Cardiff striker Kenny Miller - appealed in vain for a penalty after being pushed by Rony Hanselmann.Steven Naismith wasted two decent opportunities to open the scoring as the Rangers forward nodded wide from Fletcher's free-kick and then headed straight at Liechtenstein goalkeeper Peter Jehle from Barry Bannan's cross.In between those two chances,spain 2014 world cup jersey, Scotland goalkeeper Allan McGregor was called into action for the first time to push over Thomas Beck's long-range strike.Naismith miscued again when he looked sure to score after rounding Jehle but could only shoot into the side-netting.Phil Bardsley tested Jehle with a powerful effort from distance before the opening goal that Scotland's pressure deserved finally arrived in the 32nd minute.Bardsley was the provider as he lofted a pass towards Mackail-Smith,italy world cup 2014 jersey, who took advantage of poor positioning from Jehle to loop a header over the stranded goalkeeper into the empty net.Scotland needed a second goal to end the hosts' hopes of snatching a surprise draw and Bardsley went close when he headed a Charlie Adam corner just over the bar at the near post.Christophe Berra's drive from the edge of the area brought a low save from Jehle,usa world cup shirt, but Liechtenstein were able to keep the Scots at bay with relative ease.Liechtenstein mounted a rare counter-attack when Nicolas Hasler fired in low drive which had McGregor scrambling to save at the far post.Jehle made good stops from Naismith and Berra in the closing stages but the Scots had done enough to take the priceless points..
