Snodgrass praised after scoring return

Robert Snodgrass has been praised for his bravery after an early scoring return from injury for Hull City ahead of Scotland's visit to Wembley.

The 29-year-old midfielder came on as a first-half substitute and fired the equaliser in a 2-1 Premier League win at home to Southampton.

Hull manager Mike Phelan told BBC Sport: "Under the circumstances, he showed great character.

"And he's thinking ahead to the England game."

Snodgrass suffered an ankle injury on 22 October against Stoke City and had been expected to be sidelined for four weeks.
