Scotland manager Craig Levein blames referee Kevin Blom after his side's 2-2 with the Czech Republic in their Euro 2012 qualifier at Hampden Park.

Scotland manager Craig Levein has blamed referee Kevin Blom after his side's 2-2 draw with the Czech Republic in their Euro 2012 qualifier at Hampden Park.

Blom awarded the visitors a late penalty, despite defender Danny Wilson appearing not to touch Jan Resek in the area.

The home side were further incensed when Christophe Berra was booked for diving after it looked as if the Scot was felled in the box.

"I've got to be careful about what I say but we lost the game not through anything I felt we did wrong," Levein told BBC Scotland

"I lay the blame squarely on the shoulders of the referee. Two huge mistakes."

Captain Darren Fletcher shared his manager's anger over the Dutch official.

"How he can't give ours is beyond me after giving them one in the last minute at a full Hampden," he said

"If we didn't have bad luck we wouldn't have any luck at all."

The Scots need to win at home to Lithuania on Tuesday to stand any chance of qualifying for the 2012 finals.
