Levein ready to bring flair to light up Hampden

McFadden and Boyd set to return for Scots

SCOTLAND manager Craig Levein will ring the changes in a bid to go for goals against Liechtenstein at Hampden tomorrow.

Levein confirmed he will bring in “flair players” for the Euro qualifier following a 0-0 stalemate with Lithuania in Kaunas.

That would see a return to the starting line-up for Birmingham’s James McFadden and Middlesbrough’s Kris Boyd.

Levein said: “The shape might change and certainly the personnel will change.

“It will probably need one or two more flair players to try to break the opposition down.

“We need to have a good tempo, move the ball about quickly and try to expose them in one-on-one situations.

“Against any team that is well organised and gets people behind the ball and defends properly, you need a goal to get in front and change things.

“When you get that goal their heads will go down and our tails will go up.”
