Gordon Greer enjoyed anther international clean sheet as he got 90 minutes for Scotland tonight.
But his Albion colleague Aaron Hughes suffered late disappointment as Scotland beat his Northern Ireland side 1-0 in a friendly at Hampden Park.
Hughes joined David Healy on 95 caps, the most by any outfield players for their country, and was in fine form alongside Jonny Evans at the heart of defence.
But he was beaten in the air by Christophe Berra when the Ipswich defender headed the 85th-minute winner.
Hughes looks certain to start the Euro qualifier against Finland on Sunday, Greer, who performed well for the dominant Scots as he earned his sixth cap, will hope to face Gibraltar at Hampden.
Russell Martin, the defender from Brighton who plays for Norwich, partnered the Albion captain for 45 minutes and was then replaced by Berra.
Paddy McCourt, currently on loan at Mansfield, went on as substitute for the Irish during the second half.
Christian Walton kept goal England’s under-20s as they drew 1-1 with Mexico at Barnet.
He made a fine save late on and then saw two Mexican spot kicks fly off target as England won a penalty shoot out 4-2.
