Scotland will not solve their problems by sacking Gordon Strachan, according to Leigh Griffths.
Celtic striker Griffiths started Friday night's 3-0 World Cup qualifying defeat to England at Wembley, a result that leaves them fifth out of six teams in Group F with four games played.
Sky Sports' Neil McCann questioned the manager's future in the aftermath of the latest defeat, while Strachan himself preferred to reflect on his side's performance.
But he retains the backing of players including Griffiths and James Morrison as he approaches four years in charge.
"Obviously it is a results-based business but changing a manager midway through a campaign is not the answer," Griffiths said. "As players, we need to focus on the next qualifier.
"The manager told us to keep our heads up. We are bitterly disappointed but we go away and when we meet up in March for the next qualifier, we need to be ready.
"We need to remember that these guys [England] are playing at a top, top level every week and you have to give credit where credit is due."
Morrison said: "I think we all really appreciate Gordon. He is a man full of knowledge.
"He has played at the top level, managed at Celtic for a number of years and I would like to see a man who knows more about football than Gordon so yes, definitely behind him.
"There are lots of positives. I think when the third went in that's when they dominated but if we take our chances it is a different game."
