Scots must score as a unit - Burley
The Rangers striker was the only experienced forward named in Burley's 26-man squad for the double-header against Holland on March 28 and Iceland on April 1.[LNB]While Miller boasts 40 caps, fellow strikers David Clarkson, Steven Fletcher, Chris Iwelumo and Ross McCormack have only seven between them.[LNB]But Burley believes it will be the responsibility of the entire team to keep Scotland's qualification hopes alive.[LNB]"We've got options," he said. "There isn't pressure on one individual, it's a team.[LNB]"We are under pressure to try to qualify but it's not about one individual scoring goals, it's about a collective unit scoring goals.[LNB]"Kenny is experienced and Ross McCormack and Chris Iwelumo aren't experienced but it doesn't mean they can't do a good job."[LNB]Scotland will be forced to head into the next two games without the services of the influential James McFadden and Burley admits the loss of the Birmingham forward is a major blow.[LNB]"James has shown that he's a top international player," he said.[LNB]"I spoke to (Birmingham boss) Alex McLeish and it's maybe just a week or so too early for James, which is frustrating.[LNB]"But he has had a nasty medial ligament injury and has been out for six or seven weeks so he is progressing well.[LNB]"It is a big loss because naturally you want all your talented players available and, unfortunately, James won't be ready for these two games."[LNB]Burley is convinced there are goals within his squad despite the absence of McFadden, adding: "I've got to try to pick the best strikers available.[LNB]"We haven't totally ruled out Lee Miller. He's not in full training at the moment but we will see how he progresses in the next week or so.[LNB]"You choose your best squad with the players available and push on from there."[LNB]The Scotland boss is also confident his squad is strong enough to return from Amsterdam with a positive result.[LNB]He said: "We've got to do our best and earn the right to get a result.[LNB]"Individually, Holland are very much going to be favourites.[LNB]"But underdogs can win and we have to go there and work hard as a team and try to match them and hopefully get a result."[LNB][LNB]
