Steven Fletcher snubbed by Craig Levein

Craig Levein has revealed that he will not consider Steven Fletcher for any matches while he is in charge of the Scottish national team.

Fletcher has not played for Scotland since sending a text message to confirm he was not available for a match against Northern Ireland in February 2011.

Levein said: "I won't consider Fletcher for any matches.

"It's now 15 months since Fletcher sent a text saying: 'Tell him I don't want to play'.

"That's it finished now. It's not a ban. I have given the SFA's chief executive Stewart Regan the courtesy of letting him know.

"But this is purely me acting in what I think are the best interests of the national team."

Fletcher has scored 11 league goals for Wolverhampton Wanderers this season.
