They are the first games Scotland have played since failing to qualify for Euro 2016.

"I didn't feature as much as I would like in the last campaign but I understand why," said Fletcher.

"When I wasn't there the team performed well, especially the two players in my position, Scott Brown and James Morrison, every time I wasn't playing they were arguably the best performers and the manager stuck with them.

"The times I played I did ok but I probably didn't do enough to say I should be playing.

"That's what happens in football, I'm big enough to accept that and I'm all behind trying to qualify for the World Cup."
