Skipper Darren Fletcher insists Scotland’s World Cup qualifying clash with Holland will not be an easy ride – despite their opponents being set to name a weakened side.

The Dutch were the first European nation to book their World Cup berth in June and question marks have been raised as to whether they will have the motivation for the trip to Scotland.

George Burley’s side maintained their chance of qualifying with a 2-0 win over Macedonia on Saturday but still need to overcome the Dutch to keep the hopes alive.

And Fletcher has warned his troops to get their own house in order rather than worry about their opponents.

“When you have got no pressure, sometimes you can loosen up and perform better,” said Fletcher.

“Everyone says Holland are through – they won’t care about this match. But any Holland player who plays in this game will be thinking. ‘Can I get in the team for the World Cup?’ What a massive incentive that is.

“We can’t control what Holland team turns up or how they play. All we can do is think of ourselves and prepare for the game in the right way. That starts now.”
