There seem to have been a few changes at half time, so hopefully the change wasn't because Cuthbert was injured. The experience of being with the national set-up - even if it was an assorted bunch of random players rather than a proper squad - should stand the pair in good stead for the future.
Whether it will make much change for the next few games is anyone's guess. It is a stupid time for a friendly and how manager George Burley got away with arranging it for this time of the season is anyone's guess.
