Steven Fletcher celebrated his 21st birthday by winning his first Scotland cap in Wednesday's friendly against Croatia at Hampden.The Hibernian striker partnered Derby's Kenny Miller in attack in manager George Burley's first game in charge of the national team since taking over from Alex McLeish.

Celtic captain Stephen McManus skippered the Scots for the first time in the absence of injured Barry Ferguson and he partnered Parkhead team-mate Gary Caldwell in the centre of defence, with Alan Hutton and Gary Naysmith in the full-back positions.

Burley named Scott Brown, Paul Hartley, Shaun Maloney and Darren Fletcher in a four-man midfield.

The visitors, preparing for the European Championships in the summer, had to cope with the loss of star striker Eduardo, who broke his leg in Arsenal's Premier League match at Birmingham last month.

Coach Slaven Bilic started with Mladen Petric and Ivica Olic in a two-man strike force.
