Sunderland striker Fletcher enjoying linking up with Everton's Naismith

Steven Fletcher admits it he is having fun forming a fluid attacking partnership with Steven Naismith.

The Sunderland and Everton strikers linked up well in Saturday's 1-0 Euro2016 qualifying win over Georgia at Ibrox and Fletcher says it was enjoyable to produce such an attacking threat in an important match for their country.

"We've been working together from a young age in the under-21s. We have done it before and have done it in training. So it's not something strange. It's been good," said Fletcher.

"We're happy with the performance. We created a lot of chances. If we weren't creating chances we would start questioning ourselves.

"But we are creating a lot of chances. On another day a few more would have gone in. If we had got the second goal it would have been a lot more comfortable but we stuck in and got the three points.

"We created a lot of chances and hopefully on Tuesday we can take a few of them."
