And 109-times capped former Real Madrid and Spurs ace van der Vaart reckons his nation would have no complaints if Scotland had run up the emphatic win. And he's predicted former Celtic defender Jeremie Frimpong played himself out of contention for the Euros. ahead of their friendly tonight in Frankfurt against Germany."We did see some good moments, but not many and it was a very average display from us to be honest.

"The conclusion I came to in terms of the players is that Denzel Dumfries simply must play instead of Jeremie Frimpong at the Euros."Look, Frimpong is a good player and may well get to the level required. But he's not there yet and Dumfries is our first choice right back."Readers’ comments: You are personally liable for the content of any comments you upload to this website, so please act responsibly.
