Craig Brown: Commons’ Las Vegas trip ‘disappointing’

But, as Gordon Strachan’s squad gather today ahead of next Friday’s World Cup qualifier in Croatia, Commons is in Las Vegas with clubmates Joe Ledley and Gary Hooper – and tweeted a picture of his friends on the flight out to the USA with the hashtag ‘partytime’. “I think that’s very disappointing,” Brown said. “He’s another manager’s player, so I don’t want to be critical of Commons, but I hear that he’s in Las Vegas or something.
