Kenny Miller proposed the idea that perhaps it was the fault of the Scotland players and not the referee in the draw with Czech Republic on the weekend. The Scots were dealt a harsh blow when they conceded a controversial penalty when Jan Rezek went down in the area before Dutch referee Kevin Blom booked Christophe Berra for diving down the other end in a challenge that appeared to include a lot more contact that the first one.

The injury-time non-decision for the Scots made it a 2-2 draw when perhaps they should have had more from the Hampden Park meeting but Cardiff City striker Miller, who scored the opener and then set up Darren Fletcher for his side's second, feels maybe the players have to look a bit closer to home rather than lay blame on the match officials.

"Even allowing for the refereeing decisions, I feel their chances could have been stopped before the lad gets in," he said.

"It's disappointing when the ref gets it wrong. It was a double whammy - the penalty that they got and the one we didn't get.

"There was no reason for Christophe to go down. He had his body between their player and the ball and if there's any contact then it's a penalty.

"But we've got to look at ourselves and ask if we tracked runners or whatever at the goals.

"I think we could have done a little bit better - we could have done more to stop them. We're disappointed - but we didn't play well in the second half.

"We never really threatened them and we sat back and invited them to come at us.

"But we got our noses back in front and the decisions which keep going against us are hard to take."
