Christophe Berra knows it will be a tough ask to transfer the clean sheets garnered with Wolves onto the international stage as Scotland face The Netherlands on Saturday night.

But he'd certainly love to try!

Christophe and Jody Craddock have spearheaded a miserly Wolves defence which has conceded just once in five games as the Molineux Men picked up 13 points.

Such form has given the 24-year-old a chance of featuring as Scotland face a stern test in the Amsterdam Arena but he believes the Tartan Army will head into the back-to-back qualifiers with the Netherlands and Iceland with plenty of confidence.

"These are two really hard games but we are going into them with high hopes," he says.

 
 "These are big tests but then we have been to places like the Stade De France and done well and got a victory so I don't see why we can't do it again - that would be nice.

 
"It's great to get away with your country - you can go away and enjoy it and it is a wee break from the league business.

"All the Wolves lads involved go there train and work hard with our respective countries and then come back to a hard game with Birmingham but then there are no easy games these days.

"We have to be positive."

And Christophe admits that once his international duty is out of the way, he will relish the big Midlands derby in store at Blues on April 6.

"When we all come back and train we can be focussed on the Birmingham game up next," he added.

"The players away now can hold their heads up high and be proud. We are still top of the league and have got it all to play for.

"We're working as a team, win as a team and lose as a team.

"We move forward as a team and play for each other and now we want to go up as a team - that is the main thing."
