Don't worry, I haven't taken my Darren Fletcher ramblings too far!

I'm actually talking about Hibernian's young striker Steven Fletcher.

Fletcher, capped at Under 21 level by Scotland, has been having a stellar season at Easter Road and recently scored a hat trick in front of a Real Madrid scout.

It turns out that Real are genuinely interested after asking his side to provide DVDs of his 22 matches this season! A Scot at Real Madrid would certainly raise some eyebrows!

It does go to show the recent improvement in Scottish football, not just nationally but domestically too. I've seen teams play Rangers and Celtic off the park with some great football this season and I must admit even as a Rangers man, it has actually been pleasing to see with Motherwell in particular playing 'sexy' football.

I believe even more exciting times are ahead for Fletcher, who may well get his first full cap for Scotland against Croatia later this season. The whole of Spain may even be watching!

Having said that, a move to Madrid would probably be asking for a sore backside, but it would certainly be something to tell the grand kids!
