Kris Boyd given Scotland recall

Kris Boyd is called up to the Scotland squad for Tuesday's friendly against Norway, three years since his last appearance for the national side.

Kris Boyd has been added to the Scotland squad for Tuesday's friendly against Norway, three years after his last appearance for the national team.

The 30-year-old Kilmarnock striker has been called up by manager Gordon Strachan as a replacement for the absent Steven Fletcher.

"I never gave up hope of playing for my country again and I am grateful to Gordon for giving me that chance," Sky Sports News quotes Boyd as saying.

"I have always felt I can make a contribution at international level and knew that if I kept working hard my chance would come again.

"Hopefully I can get involved against Norway and show people what I am still capable of at the highest level."

Boyd last played for Scotland in September 2010 during a 2-1 win over Liechtenstein.
