Cowie hurt by Scotland woe

Cowie was handed his first international start against Wales last weekend - and the Scots' 3-0 defeat prompted the sacking of manager George Burley."Everything had been going great for me this season. Club football was good and I was flying last Saturday knowing I was starting. To go from such a high to the worst possible low is unimaginable," he told the Scottish Sun."I've had a few sore points in my career but at international level there's no doubt a defeat like that hurts so much more."The last thing I want is to be remembered for the Wales game and I don't want that to be my last cap. I was so incredibly proud to be representing my country, it was a lifelong ambition."All I can do now is get my head down and keep working hard at Watford. It's hard work that got me here before and I have to hope it happens again."
