Boyd In Scotland Squad

George Boyd has been called up to the full Scottish squad for the matches against Wales and Serbia later this month.

Boyd, who recently signed on loan to Hull City for the remainder of the season, had previously represented Scotland "B" against Northern Ireland but had failed to make the full squad despite scoring in that one and only match.

Scotland have since changed managers and now have Gordon Strachan in charge and he has been a long time admirer of the skilful midfielder: "George is a player I have watched for years - I tried to sign him at Middlesbrough - and he is in good form at Hull City".

It is believed Boyd was watched in his last match for Posh which resulted in a thumping 5-1 win at Millwall in a game which saw Boyd set up three of the goals while scoring the final goal.

Scotland play Wales at Hampden Park on 22nd March before travelling to Serbia for a match on 26th March.

The full squad is:

Goalkeepers: Matt Gilks, David Marshall, Allan McGregor

Defenders: Christophe Berra, Gary Caldwell, Danny Fox. Grant Hanley, Alan Hutton, Russell Martin, Charlie Mulgrew, Andy Webster

Midfielders: Charlie Adam, Liam Bridcutt, Chris Burke, Kris Commons, Graham Dorrans, James Forrest, Gary Mackay-Steven, James McArthur, James Morrison, Robert Snodgrass, George Boyd.

Forwards: Steven Fletcher, Ross McCormack. Shaun Maloney, Kenny Miller, Steven Naismith, Jordan Rhodes.
