![]() The wide midfielder thought it was hypocritical to condemn him but ignore Kenny Miller's handball in the run-up to his goal during the opening qualifier in Kaunas four years ago, which Scotland won 2-1. Mikoliunas went on: "I thought that was also unfair because he scored the second goal, he played the ball with his hand and nobody spoke about that". The player - and the incident - was still the subject of the most attention during his team's pre-game media conference but he will try to put it out of his mind tonight. He said: "I feel more confident now. I will concentrate on my job on the pitch if I'm playing. I'm not thinking about that, I don't want to lose focus. I will prepare myself as I do for every game. We had a good game at Hampden and also the previous game here in Kaunas, we had good chances. Unfortunately we got beat but tomorrow I hope our time will come." Meanwhile, Lithuania striker Tomas Danilevicius dismissed suggestions he would capitalise on the lack of youth of Scotland defender Davie Weir, as the 40-year-old prepares to become Scotland's oldest international. The Livorno striker, who is 32, said: "I think that now in football it's not such a big difference with young or old players. If he is playing for the national team he must be professional and worthy of his place. I believe it will be difficult to play against him because of his previous experience." |
