Miller to captain Scotland again

Kenny Miller will skipper Scotland again in their friendly against Brazil at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday.

The Bursaspor striker was captain in the 3-0 Carling Nations Cup win against Northern Ireland in Dublin earlier in the year and will take the armband again in the continued absence of Darren Fletcher.

"It is a massive honour," said Miller. "I said that the last time. It was a proud moment in my career and again, what better game than to captain my country than a game against Brazil."

He added: "To walk out with the armband on in a game like this means the world to me."

Scotland boss Craig Levein said: "I am really pleased with the last game, Kenny's performance and the way he helped other players and how he led by example.

"So while Darren Fletcher is ill, I think it is only right after the last performance, and the example he set, that Kenny continues to do the job."
