Brian raises international Stock

The 27-year-old played the full 90 minutes as John Toshack's side went down 3-1 in their Group Four clash and is expected to be available for Rovers' match at Reading on Saturday after coming through unscathed. Danny Collins levelled for Wales early in the second half after Igor Shemshov had given the Russians a 36th-minute lead, but further goals from Sergei Ignashevich and Roman Pavlyuchenko ensured Guus Hiddink's side remain hot on the heels of group leaders Germany with two games remaining. Defeat for Wales confirmed their failure to qualify for the finals in South Africa next summer.
