On the mend: Hutton is itching to get back in action[LNB] Alan Hutton is determined to be back in action by the end of March to boost Totrtenham's[LNB]survival bid and help Scotland reach the World Cup.[LNB]The right back has been sidelined for most of the season with a stress fracture in his leg but has set his sights on the Premier League run-in and Scotland's crucial double-header against Holland and Iceland.[LNB]The former Rangers defender said: I'm absolutely desperate to play against Holland because it's a massive game for the country. I definitely want to be there and if I'm honest, I am kind of aiming for that. [LNB]'If training goes well and everything goes to plan, I would like to think that I could make it.' [LNB]Hutton has only played seven times for Spurs this season and his last appearance was for his country in November's 1-0 friendly defeat by Argentina at Hampden. [LNB]But he added: 'I last spoke to (Scotland manager) George Burley  two weeks ago and told him at that time that I would be back in three. [LNB]'It doesn't matter to me if I'm coming back and that is my first game because I know myself that I will be fit. [LNB]'If everything goes well and I get picked for the squad I'm sure that I would be able to do myself and the country full justice. [LNB]'There is no way I would even consider declaring myself available if I thought I wasn't right because it is too big a game for Scotland. But I feel really, really good at this point and hope everything keeps going to plan.'
