Strachan: Airport hold-up no problem

Scotland manager Gordon Strachan insists Friday’s hold-up in Georgia has had no effect on preparations for the crucial Euro 2016 qualifier against Germany at Hampden Park tonight.

The Scots dropped into fourth place in Group D, one point behind Republic of Ireland, following their unexpected 1-0 defeat in Tbilisi as the Germans went top with a 3-1 home win over Poland.

Afterwards, Strachan’s squad had to wait in the airport for three hours until their plane turned up, with the players and officials arriving back in Glasgow at 6am on Saturday.
