The Celtic midfielder announced he was returning to the Scotland set up in October just two months after retiring from the national squad.Browns decision came after a season interrupted by injury, but he has been in good form for Celtic under Brendan Rodgers since the start of the campaign and has had a change of heart. Scotland boss Gordon Strachan was delighted at Browns decision, and the 31-year-old is almost certain to start Fridays World Cup Qualifier against England at Wembley. Scotland manager Gordon Strachan is delighted at Browns decision I think he will come back in. Its important for him and Scotland as a whole that he comes back in, Lambert told Sky Sports News HQ.You dont come out of retirement if you are not going to play and its a boost for Scotland to get him in the side.It will be Gordons decision what he wants to do but it will be good for him. I hope its for more than just one game.If you come out of retirement I think you have to try and see the campaign through. Hopefully Scott has made that decision, which is probably right for himself and right for Gordon and Scotland. Hopefully its just not for one game.Scotland go into the Group F encounter having picked up just one point from their last two matches against Lithuania and Slovakia, a situation which has led to criticism of Strachan. Paul Lambert playing for Scotland against Brazil in 1998 Lambert reckons the occasion at Wembley means there will be expectation on both Strachan and England counterpart Gareth Southgate though.I think you can place Scotland v England anywhere, whatever sport it is, there is going to be that rivalry. Its always going to be there, Lambert said.Scotland will go down there and give it a right good go. I dont think they have anything to fear going to England to play them, especially at Wembley, its a great occasion.But I think any sport you play, Scotland v England there is always that little bit extra added to it. Brown (left) in action for Celtic against Borussia Monchengladbach As a football manager you are under pressure every single game. Gordon knows the game, hes not a novice at it. Hes an experienced guy, he was a great player in his day, and done well with the national team.I think the couple of games beforehand has put the pressure on him, but Scotland v England there is pressure anyway.From a Scotland point of view Id love them to win. I think its going to be difficult, a really tough game going down there, but its a game the lads can go and enjoy, and play without any fear.I think England will feel a bit of pressure as well, because they will know they have to win as well. Gareth knows he will have to get a win. Its closer than what a lot of people think. Scotland will go down there and enjoy the occasion.

The best round belonged to Pat Perez. Tiger Woods didnt come close to claiming either Thursday in the Farmers Insurance Open, where the seven-time champion failed to break par in the opening round for first time in his career.INDIANAPOLIS -- Pacers coach Frank Vogel kept the game plan simple. Make the extra pass, take care of the ball, play defence and get more out of his bench. The four-pronged approach worked. Danny Granger scored a season-high 16 points, Paul George and Lance Stephenson each added 15, and the Pacers plowed through some rough stretches to pull away from the Orlando Magic, 98-79 on Monday night. "I thought we came out with the right focus and the right fight," forward David West said. "We played hard, played together and got the W." Thats good enough for right now. The team with the NBAs best record came into the game with a 3-3 mark over its last six and seemed to be sliding after a series of slow starts forced it to fight its way back from large, early deficits. Even returning home after a five-game West Coast swing wasnt the fix. The Pacers (37-10) lost to Phoenix last Thursday, then had to overcome a season-high 24 turnovers Saturday to barely get past Brooklyn. On Monday, the Pacers looked like a different team. They started fast, committed only two turnovers in the first 21 1/2 minutes and led from start to finish. Perhaps that much should have been expected against the second-worst team in the league and the worst road team in the NBA. But it was still a tough night. West hurt his right ankle in the third quarter, backup centre Ian Mahinmi left with an injured right shoulder in the fourth and Indiana let Orlando (13-37) back into the game late in the first half before nearly giving all of its 16-point, first-half lead by starting the third quarter with 10 straight misses. The difference: The Pacers heeded their All-Star coachs advice and allowed a season-low 29 points in the second half. "Thats typical of us," Granger said. "You know we hang our hat on defence, and we really want that to carry us the whole way." Arron Afflalo led the Magic with 20 points but was shut out for the final 23:47. Nikola Vucevic added 16 points, getting only four over the final 19 minutes. The only other Orlando player to reach double figures was Tobias Harris, who finished with 11. Rookie Victor Oladipo finished with six points and tied a season high with 11 assists but wass just 2 of 11 from the field in his second game back in his adopted home state. Mets Wilmer Flores Jersey. "They were just more active on their tags and disguising their defence," said Oladipo, who again started in place of injured point guard Jameer Nelson. "They just did a great job of making us take tough shots. Its something we need to learn from." The Pacers, meanwhile, stuck to the Vogel Plan. Granger, a former All-Star who has been working his way back from a strained left calf, broke out of his shooting slump. C.J. Watson had 12 points and Luis Scola added 10 as the Pacers bench combined for exactly half of Indianas total, a season best. Indianas two most prolific scorers did their thing, too. George started with seven points, three rebounds, two steals and two assists in the first quarter. Stephenson, the NBA leader with four triple-doubles, settled for 15 points, 12 rebounds and five assists. It looked as if the Pacers would blow out Orlando when they took a 55-39 lead midway through the second quarter. But the Magic closed the period on a 9-2 run, then watched the Pacers miss their first 10 shots in the third quarter as they crept back within two on Vucevics tip-in with 7:01 to go. Indianas defence then held tight until Stephenson ended the shooting drought with a circus jumper that banked in as he drew a foul on Oladipo. Stephenson made the free throw to give Indiana a 63-58 lead and the Magic never got another chance to tie it. The Pacers closed the third quarter on a 9-1 run to make it 75-63 and opened the fourth on a 11-1 spurt to put it away. "It goes back to passing," Granger said. "You know when once you move the ball, you get a lot more open shots. Weve been trying to do it by ourselves these last 10 or 12 games and our offence has been struggling. So we move the ball, we get layups, backdoor cuts, open 3s. That makes everybody look good."
