Berra Wins Cap in Scotland Defeat - Ipswich Town News
Blues centre-half Christophe Berra came on as a half-time sub as Scotland lost 1-0 to Italy in a friendly in Malta this evening.
Southampton’s Graziano Pellè netted the only goal in the 57th minute but the Italians, who are in the same European Championships group as Daryl Murphy and David McGoldrick’s Republic of Ireland, ought to have won more comfortably.
Berra, 31, was winning his 33rd full cap but was unable to add to his three international goals. Scotland take on France in another friendly in Metz on Saturday.
Scotland: Marshall, Paterson (Berra 46), Mulgrew, Martin, Hanley, Phillips (Burke 71), D.Fletcher (C), McArthur (Bryson 83), McCormack (S Fletcher 46), Ritchie, Anya (Naismith 71). Unused: Fox, Hamilton, McKay, Greer, Kingsley.
