James Morrison reckons West Brom’s capture of Darren Fletcher was a managerial master-stroke
Baggies boss Tony Pulis beat off a host of other clubs to get the Manchester United midfielder.
And Fletcher’s Scotland team mate Morrison says the four-time Premier League title winner was the perfect fit.
The 31-year-old’s arrival has coincided with Albion piling up the points to move clear of the relegation zone.
The Albion duo are in the Scotland squad for their friendly against Northern Ireland and Euro 2016 qualifier with Gibraltar this month.
And Morrison believes Pulis’ decision the hand Fletcher the captain’s armband was an inspired decision.
Morrison said: "He's a great lad, he's a leader and he barks his orders.
"He's got that respect and he deserves it for what he's done in the game.
"Obviously I have played with Darren for many years for Scotland. I know his game and I think he knows mine and we slotted in perfectly.
"We've got a good bunch of lads in the group and he has slotted in perfectly."
