West Brom skipper Fletcher in contention for Poland after training with Scotland

Darren Fletcher trained with the Scotland squad on Monday ahead of Thursday's vital Euro2016 qualifier with Poland.


The West Bromwich Albion captain suffered a knock on his side's 2-0 loss at Crystal Palace on Saturday but appears to have recovered and is likely to place in Gordon Strachan's line-up for the Group D fixture at Hamden Park.

Scotland currently sit fourth on the table as they chase a third-place finish which would see them progress to the play-offs for France 2016.

They are four points behind Republic of Ireland who will be chasing second-placed Poland when they host group leaders and reigning world champions Germany in Dublin on the same day.
