Fletcher will wear the armband at Hampden on Saturday on his
40th international appearance. The honour continues a good month
for Fletcher. The 24-year-old signed a three-year contract at Old
Trafford last week.
Burley said: "Darren has been an outstanding player for Scotland
for a number of years. "At the same time he has established himself
as a regular player for one of the biggest clubs in the world.
"Since I took over, his attitude towards playing for his country
has been outstanding. He is a player who is always desperate to
represent Scotland. "It is a measure of his talent that at his
relatively young age he has achieved so much for his club and will
win his 40th cap for his country on Saturday.
"I know he will be very proud to lead the players out at Hampden
on Saturday. He will do a great job for Scotland."
