Boyd would welcome Scotland call

The 23-year-old Chatham-born player is believed to be the mystery man national team boss Burley wants to add to his squad for Wednesday night's B international against Northern Ireland.The Scottish Football Association were today hoping to confirm Boyd's eligibility via his Glasgow-born grandfather.Boyd, dubbed 'The White Pele' by Posh fans, said in the Scottish Sun: "I'd jump at the chance of playing international football."Obviously, England is not very realistic for me. So yes, I'd be more than happy to join up with the Scotland squad."I still haven't heard anything official. But I'd be happy to play for Scotland."Burley yesterday selected a 17-man squad for next week's match at Broadwood, which included a number of uncapped players.Among the new faces are Kilmarnock midfielder Craig Bryson, West Brom's Graham Dorrans and Hamilton defender Brian Easton.Bryson told the Daily Record: "I've been called up for the Under-19s and the 21s but only got eight minutes on the pitch from both games."Hopefully, I can do all right this time. It's great to be called up to the B squad for the first time and even though it is a patched-up squad, I'm just very happy to be there. It's great to know the national manager thinks you have been doing well."Dorrans said: "The only thing better than this is actually getting picked to play in the first team. I'm looking to push on and I want to cement my place in the first team at West Brom before I start looking at the Scotland first team."Easton said: "My dad was really chuffed. He's a massive Scotland fan, we all are, so it was great to tell him I was in the B team. He was buzzing."It only took a few minutes before the texts started flying. I think my dad spent the day telling everyone about his boy."
