Levein trusts Scots squad | Football News | Sky Sports

Scotland boss Craig Levein insists he has complete trust in his players not to step out of line during their time at La Manga.

Levein and his squad have jetted out to the Spanish resort ahead of Sunday's clash with Brazil for a combination of training and team bonding.

The players have been allowed to enjoy themselves in the sun and, almost two years after the 'boozegate' controversy when Allan McGregor and Barry Ferguson were banned from the national team, Levein insists he can rely on to conduct themselves appropriately.

He toldSky Sports News:"I'm in a position with this group of players now where I do have trust in them.

"You've got to trust senior professionals and guys who are professional athletes. They understand what the game's all about. They can relax and enjoy themselves.

"There haven't been any situations I've had to concern myself with and I knew that would be the case."

Levein added:"A lot of the players know each other and they've played at clubs together but they don't all know each other.

"Especially some of the quieter ones, the newer players, the younger lads, it's really important they feel comfortable in each other's company and in the company of the more experienced players as well.

"So the idea behind it is to put themselves in a situation where they're going to enjoy themselves. Who couldn't enjoy themselves here?"

Former Dundee United and Hearts boss Levein also revealed there could be an addition to the squad ahead of the Emirates Stadium clash with Brazil.

"We have had call-offs and areas in the team that are a bit more threadbare than others,"he said.

"There is a possibility that later on this week I might make moves to bring another player in."
