STEVE MORISON insists the Wales players never lost faith in their ability to deliver results under boss Chris Coleman after securing a 2-1 victory over Scotland.

The World Cup qualifying triumph in Cardiff on Friday night was the national team’s first win since Coleman replaced the late Gary Speed at the helm in January.

The Dragons had endured a disappointing start to the campaign, opening with defeat.

But Morison believes Wales can now look forward to their next qualifier in Croatia with optimism following what he claimed was a well-deserved victory over the Scots.

The Norwich striker said: ‘‘We always had the belief. We kept it from the games when we had been winning, even though we had lost a few.

‘‘We have a great spirit and a great camp and we enjoy getting together. Everyone is turning up, which is fantastic, and we will carry it on until Tuesday and hopefully we can put on a good performance in Croatia.

‘‘We have always been behind Chris and I think we showed that we are a very good team. I thought we made Scotland look very average.’’ Wolves’ Dave Edwards will replace the suspended Aaron Ramsey in the squad for tomorrow’s match in Croatia.
