Strachan full of praise for Cardiff keeper Marshall

Scotland coach Gordon Strachan was delighted with the form of Cardiff City goalkeeper David Marshall this week.

Cardiff's Marshall has recorded two clean-sheets and was magnificent as the Dark Blues survived a barrage in Molde before completing a 1-0 smash-and-grab victory over the Norwegians on Tuesday.

Scotland boss Strachan said: "I've known David for a long time and he's now got a presence about him that he didn't always have.

"It's not arrogance, it's just a self-confidence. He hasn't changed off the pitch. He's still a very quiet and unassuming man but there is now a presence on the pitch.

"Is he now putting Allan McGregor under pressure for the number one spot? Yeah, I think he is."
