Scotland coach Strachan hits out at West Brom keeper Foster

Scotland coach Gordon Strachan has taken aim at England goalkeeper Ben Foster.

The West Bromwich Albion keeper Foster spoke of Scotland "kicking lumps" out of the Republic of Ireland players - and vice-versa over the weekend.

Strachan snapped: "If Ben Foster said that, he doesn't need to worry because he's in goal.

"On Friday, people went toe to toe. There was an intensity but there wasn't a piece of nastiness in it. There's a big difference.

"Nobody was backing down and that's what happens when two teams lock horns and don't want to get beaten.

"It wasn't a nasty game. I'd call it a really good game of football."
