On-loan defender Ross Perry said his long trip to Azerbaijan with Scotland Under 21s last week wasn’t so bad, because they travelled in style.

“It was a long way, a six-hour flight,” he said.

“But because we’re doing so well in the group, the SFA thought it would be suitable to charter a plane for us.

“So we had our own plane and that meant we could more easily spread our legs on the plane, which was good.”

Perry (pictured right) played the whole game, at centre half, and Scotland won impressively, 4-0, “It was good to get a full 90 minutes under my belt, and I thought we were pretty comfortable in the game.

“I was given my chance with one of the boys being injured, and played very well in both games, so I’ve done myself no harm.”
