Fletcher: dishes the dirt

Darren Fletcher spills the beans on his Scotland team mates, including Lee McCulloch and Kris Boyd!

Each week Soccer AM asks players to dish the dirt on their team-mates.

This week it's the turn of Manchester United and Scotland midfielder Darren Fletcher.

The new captain of his country has made a good start to the season and will be hoping to take his club form into Scotland's crucial World Cup qualifiers.

Despite a busy schedule he took time out this week to tell us what his international team-mates are really like behind the scenes...

BEST TRAINER
James McFadden because he's got that little bit something different. Scotland players are all hard working but James has got that little bit of class and he shows that in training.

WORST TRAINER
Kris Boyd. He hardly moves, doesn't run, doesn't like doing anything, but put the ball in the box and he will score nine times out of ten. He's one of the best finishers I've seen but in terms of enthusiasm and work rate he's probably the worst trainer.

QUICKEST PLAYER
Alan Hutton. People told me but I didn't realise until he came training with Scotland. He bombs up and down from right-back and he's so quick he just glides passed players, I think he was going passed Gianluca Zambrotta in the Italy game.

SLOWEST PLAYER
David Weir. I know i'm maybe picking on him because of his age, but when you have to try and play in midfield in front of him and he's sitting in the 18 yard box and i'm trying to tell him to push up... but what a player for his age and a great asset and a hall of famer for Scotland.

BIGGEST MOANER
Barry Ferguson or James McFadden, but I think Barry is only a moaner because he wants to win so much. So he's always moaning at his team-mates to try and do better.

HARD MAN
I think on the pitch Stephen McManus, he doesn't shirk a tackle, but he's also a gentleman off the pitch - a gentle giant.

MOST SKILFUL
James McFadden. As I said before he's got that bit of brilliance and he's done it so many times for Scotland. He can go past someone in the blink of an eye and put the ball in the top corner - a real asset.

WORST TASTE IN MUSIC
Christian Dailly. I remember being on an away trip in some dodgy European country and I heard this music from the next door room and I thought it was just some random guy and then Christian walks out and I said 'Christian is that your music?' and he said 'yeah'. I said 'it's not the best mate; you better just keep that in your room and not in the dressing room!'

WORST DRESS SENSE
Lee McCulloch, I think he buys mannequins from the shops just so that he looks good!

AND... WHO'S THE LONGEST IN THE SHOWER
Lee McCulloch definitely... by a very long way!
