Gordon Strachan "delighted" by Darren Fletcher return

Scotland manager Gordon Strachan admits that he is "delighted" to have Manchester United midfielder Darren Fletcher back in the national squad.

Gordon Strachan has said that he is "delighted" to have Darren Fletcher back in the Scotland squad for tomorrow's international friendly against Poland.

The Manchester United midfielder has not played for his country since November 2012, after being diagnosed with a chronic bowel condition.

The manager told Sky Sports News: "First of all, it's more important for him as an individual. He has had a real tough time. That's the most important thing, that there is a top, top player back playing at the top level.

"He plays for Manchester United and, if you do that, there is an automatic place in my squad. We are just delighted for him just now and we are enjoying watching him coming back and getting back to the player he was."

Fletcher has 61 caps for his country.
