CHRISTOPHE BERRA insists he isn't feeling pressure as he prepares to start his first match for Scotland. The Wolves defender has been told by manager George Burley he will be pitched in from the start against Holland after Stephen McManus was ruled out through injury.
However, Berra is trying to keep himself calm ahead of the World Cup qualifier. He said: "There are boys like Scott Brown who don't get bothered about playing games like this.
"Then on the other hand, I know boys who would be physically sick before playing in a match like this because of nerves.
"I'm probably somewhere in the middle. I'm pretty laid back. This is a big occasion so I obviously will get nervous, but I will just try to focus on the team and on what we have to do."
Burley is expected to line his team in a 4-5-1 formation with the following players starting; McGregor, Alexander, Caldwell, Berra, Naysmith, Rae, Brown, Ferguson, Fletcher, Morrison and Miller.
