Craig Levein today insisted he will manage Scotland his way as the fall-out continued from Friday’s European Championship qualifier in Lithuania.

The manager also revealed another injury blow ahead of tomorrow’s must-win Euro-pean Championship qualifier against Liechtenstein at Hampden.

This morning Kirk Broadfoot was sent back to Rangers after going over on an ankle in training yesterday.

With Ibrox team-mate Steven Whittaker still struggling to recover from the calf knock picked up in the goalless draw in Lithuania on Friday, and Lee Wallace and Kevin McNaughton still being assessed after missing the trip to Kaunas with knocks, Jay McEveley is on standby to play.

Levein plans to name his side tonight, after he has had the chance to check on the condition of the walking wounded.

Ideally, he will keep Whittaker at left-back, but revealed that what was originally thought to be a strain is actually a haematoma.

The manager said: “Jay will come into contention, but I want to give Steven every chance to recover.

“It is touch and go. But I’d like to have him in team and will give him every opportunity.

“He is a high-class player, and lads who are versatile are worth their weight in gold.”

Despite the disappointment of drawing the opening game in Lithuania, and criticism for being too cautious in his line-up, Levein is determined not to bow to public pressure to throw in all of his creative players against the minnows of the group.

The manager is wary of a Liechtenstein side which recently drew in Iceland and insisted that the balance of the side must be right if Scotland are to get the three points they need.

He said: “I don’t get overly hung up on formations. Some of the best teams in the world play with one up. It’s about how you play.

“We have to take our chances. You can make as many as you like, but if you don’t take them then it’s irrelevant.

“You can’t just put every creative player in. It’s about balance and putting people in positions in which they are comfortable.”

Levein will shake up the side, however, and said: “The likes of Kris Boyd, James McFadden, Graham Dorrans, James Morrison and Charlie Adams all come into my thoughts, along with a number of others.”

McFadden is in line to start, though the manager is not prepared to give him a free rein.

He explained: “James will have to play within a structure. But he is obviously very much in my thoughts for tomorrow.”

Having studied a DVD provided by the Spanish FA of Liechtenstein’s 4-0 defeat to the world champions on Friday, Levein accepts Scotland will have to play at a high tempo to break down the resolute defence.

But he is confident he has the players, particularly in midfield, who can stretch the visitors’ reserves of strength.

And he is looking to captain Darren Fletcher to mark his 50th cap with a commanding performance.

He said: “He’s a lovely guy and fantastic player, but I think the best has still to come from him.

“I would like to see Darren being a creative influence on the game and providing an end product at times.”

Meanwhile, the English FA have confirmed Wayne Rooney will travel to Switzerland today ahead of England’s Euro 2012 qualifier in Basel.

The 24-year-old has been the subject of intense scrutiny in his private life over the past 24 hours.
