Football: Fletcher gets Scotland recall for Poland friendly

Scotland captain Darren Fletcher was given an international recall on Wednesday after being named in the squad for next month's friendly international against Poland.

The Manchester United midfielder recently returned to action with the English Premier League champions following a lengthy lay-off with ulcerative colitis.

His former Old Trafford team-mate Phil Bardsley, now with Sunderland, has also been recalled by Scotland manager Gordon Strachan, while Dundee United left-back Andrew Robertson has been selected for a senior national squad for the first time.

Scotland play Poland in Warsaw on March 5.
