Scotland defender Grant Hanley has revealed that there is much more confidence and belief in the squad since Gordon Strachan's arrival.

The Scots ended their Cup qualifying campaign with victories over Macedonia and Croatia and are now hoping to come back stronger in the Euro 2016 qualifiers.

Hanley has insisted that the players now believe they can win, rather than simply staying positive, and hopes that they can take some momentum into the Euro 2016 qualifiers.

"We need to head to Norway and hope we can keep our wee run going," Hanley told reporters. "It's all about momentum as we prepare for the next European Championship campaign.

"I think there is a difference in the mood in the camp from a few months ago. Before when we went into these games like Croatia away, we had nothing to lose.

"We were always positive but that's not the same as believing you will win. But now that we are on the back of a wee run and our performances have picked up, we can take a bit of confidence into the games."

Scotland travel to Norway on Tuesday night without Steven Fletcher and Charlie Mulgrew.
