Miller embarrassed by Scotland's performance against USA

Scotland captain Kenny Miller was embarrassed by his side's showing against the USA on the weekend.

The Scots lost 5-1 in Florida with LA Galaxy ace Landon Donovan the star of the show, scoring a hat-trick, and involved in the other two goals.

Miller admitted that Scotland were simply not good enough and suggests the team may have gone backwards with this showing.

"Of course it hurts - it's an embarrassment to be honest," the Cardiff City striker said.

"If you lose 5-1 at any level of football there's an element of embarrassment.

"We were trying to stem the flow in the first half and got a goal back.

"At 2-1 we were fortunate, but the goals we lost in the second half were terrible.

"It is only a friendly but we're still disappointed. We have made progress with our recent performances, but this is a hard one and it hurts."
