Scotland's players have finally put the 'Boozegate' saga to bed, according to full-back Alan Hutton.
Hutton revealed manager George Burley had spoken to his squad, as planned, about their conduct ahead of Wednesday's crucial World Cup qualifier in Norway.
Tottenham star Hutton was reportedly one of a number of players who stayed up drinking at the team hotel following March's Group Nine defeat in Holland.
He turned in long before team-mates Barry Ferguson and Allan McGregor, whose early-hours binge sparked a chain of events that eventually led to them being banned from representing their country ever again.
Hutton said: "The manager has had a conversation with us before training.
"All the stuff that went on was not great and not good for anybody involved with Scotland but we have to focus on the game at hand. We have not got to a finals in 11 years and to get there would be a massive achievement.
"Hopefully we are all pulling in the same direction to get there.
"There were always ground rules but obviously what happened was a bit out of line. We have gone over it. We are all professionals and we all know how we should conduct ourselves. The manager has gone over it and everyone is moving in the same direction."
Hutton, 24, has endured something of an injury nightmare since his £9million move to Spurs from Rangers last year but he believes he is finally over his troubles.
He said: "It's like starting afresh again. We've had nine pre-season games, so sharpness is not a problem for me now and I am fit and looking forward to getting on with the games."
Burley insists failure to beat Norway on Wednesday would not spell the end of Scotland's qualifying hopes, claiming two wins from any of their final three matches would be sufficient.
Hutton is not so sure, adding: "Personally, I think we need to win. Getting a point is obviously better than losing but I think we have to win this and the next game against Macedonia.
"Then anything we get from Holland is a bonus. It would be a big ask to go into the Holland game having to win."
