I see that the Stephen Fletcher story is back in the spotlight with the player taking to Twitter to indicate that he is now willing to pull on a dark blue shirt again. I am no fan of Craig Levein. In my view, he is a mediocre manager and a very poor tactician. He is out of his depth as national manager and I suspect his tenure is likely to be short lived.. Fletcher, on the other hand, is a very accomplished player who is a natural goalscorer. He is head and shoulders above any other forward at our disposal notwithstanding the stalwart service given by Kenny Miller over the years. In all probability we would have taken 4 or possibly 6 points from our recent home fixtures if he had played. Nevertheless, in my opinion, the Fletcher situation is one of the few things Levein has got right. Fletcher took the trouble to make it clear directly to the national manager, albeit by text, that he did not wish to be considered for selection after being told he was not guaranteed a place in the starting eleven. It's all very well trying to manipulate the social media to suggest that he is now willing to lend his weight to that national cause but, in my view, unless and until he does the proper thing and makes it clear directly and publicly to Craig Levein that he has changed his mind about the honour of representing the country then he should remain in his self imposed wilderness even if that means the national team doing the same. What do others think ?
