Teale wings into Scotland reckoning
The 30-year-old earns his first call-up since George Burley's first game in charge against Croatia almost exactly a year ago.[LNB]Teale was a substitute in the 1-1 draw at Hampden but was not picked in any of Burley's subsequent squads.[LNB]His inclusion was the only surprise in a 26-man party, which includes fit-again Tottenham full-back Alan Hutton, who has not played a first-team game since Scotland's friendly against Argentina in November.[LNB]Sunderland goalkeeper Craig Gordon is also included, despite having played only one game for his club since November.[LNB]Gordon lost his first-team place at the Stadium of Light after suffering an ankle injury and has been unable to reclaim it since.[LNB]As expected, Birmingham striker James McFadden has been ruled out through injury, along with Celtic winger Shaun Maloney.[LNB]Aberdeen forward Lee Miller also misses out through injury while Cardiff midfielder Gavin Rae, 31, keeps his place in the squad after his surprise call-up for last month's get-together at St Andrews.[LNB]Rae earned his first call-up for two years 12 months ago, coming off the bench against Croatia.[LNB]He also started May's defeat in the Czech Republic and was in the squad for August's goalless draw with Northern Ireland but was not included for any of Scotland's three Group 9 qualifiers so far.[LNB]Burley has led them to second place in the table ahead of the March 28 trip to Amsterdam and the April 1 clash with Iceland at Hampden.[LNB]Scotland squad for World Cup qualifying Group 9 matches with Holland (March 28) and Iceland (April 1): Gordon (Sunderland), McGregor (Rangers), Marshall (Norwich); Alexander (Burnley), Barr (Falkirk), Berra (Wolves), Broadfoot (Rangers), Caldwell (Celtic), Hutton (Tottenham), McAllister (Bristol City), McManus (Celtic), Naysmith (Sheffield United), Weir (Rangers); Brown (Celtic), Commons (Derby), Ferguson (Rangers), Fletcher (Manchester United), Hartley (Celtic), Morrison (West Brom), Rae (Cardiff), Teale (Derby); Clarkson (Motherwell), Fletcher (Hibernian), Iwelumo (Wolves), McCormack (Cardiff), Miller (Rangers).[LNB][LNB] Scotlands Next Win in World Qualifiers.
