Two Reds were in action on Monday night. Lucas Leiva played for Brazil as they beat Ukraine in a friendly at Pride Park.

Dani Alves and Pato got the goals for the Brazilians, whilst Lucas had a solid game in the middle.

Danny Wilson meanwhile was part of the Scotland U21 side that lost 2-1 to to Iceland in the UEFA U21 Championships play-off game.

The result means Scotland lose 4-2 on aggregate and will not be part of the tournament, to be played in Denmark next year.
