Allan McGregor does not believe Scotland deserved to lose to Wales and has admitted the refereeing calls were difficult to accept.

Soft penalty

Charlie Adam's cross was deemed to have swerved out of play before reaching Fletcher, despite television footage appearing to show otherwise. McGregor added: "From where I was, I saw the flag go up early so assumed it was offside. Then the referee gestured that the cross had gone over the byline. "We couldn't believe it when we saw the incident afterwards and saw that the ball was well in play and that Steven's header was absolutely fine. "It makes it that much harder to accept because at 2-0 down the game is over - no doubt about it. "We were playing well and creating chances and the second goal would have killed Wales off. "Instead, they get a soft penalty and arguably they should have been down to 10 men in the last 10 minutes."
