Kris Boyd aiming for Scotland recall

Kris Boyd has said that he wants to earn a recall to the Scotland squad after rejoining Kilmarnock.

The 29-year-old, who has 18 caps for Scotland, has not represented his country since September 2010.

Boyd told Sky Sports News: "Gordon [Strachan] has said in the last couple of days that he wants to mix experience with youth. Hopefully I'm in that age group between 28 and 32 and I am experienced enough.

"I've tasted it, I've played with Scotland on numerous occasions and scored goals at that level. I know I can do it.

"It's a matter of getting myself fit again. You don't lose anything you've got ability-wise, it's just working on the fitness."

Boyd re-signed for Kilmarnock last month after leaving MLS side Portland Timbers.
