Brown uses full force

Craig Brown believes his Scotland players have the size to make life difficult for Belgium at Hampden Park

Craig Brown believes his Scotland players have the size to make life difficult for Belgium at Hampden Park. The Scotland coach, who had nine six-footers to choose from, said: "Our team, physically, is the strongest I've ever seen Scotland have." As well as Matt Elliott, Brown has goalkeeper Neil Sullivan, defenders Colin Hendry and David Weir plus midfielder-cum-striker Don Hutchison as his six-footers - with the likes of Steven Pressley and Rab Douglas on the bench.

Dominic Matteo and Colin Cameron have shaken off injuries to play in midfield.

Wales' prospects of qualifying for the World Cup will largely depend on whether they can win in Armenia tonight.

Although John Hartson and Craig Bellamy are likely to continue their Coventry partnership up front, Dean Saunders will be hoping this is his opportunity to take his number of representative appearances to 74. He would then become Wales's most capped outfield player ever, behind only former goalkeeper Neville Southall's 92.
