The general opinion in the media re Martin being chosen was because he offered more of a physical presence against big defenders than Griffiths and that's why Strachan opted for him but, as already highlighted, Martin has no significant scoring form for his club. I must say he doesn't have a huge array of striking talent to choose from apart from Griffiths who scores goals in the Scottish Premier league. It's a pity Sparky never scored with that header when he came on as a sub instead of heading the ball straight to the Lithuanian goalie. IMO that was a good scoring opp to raise his scoring profile for Scotland with Strachan watching on!
