Scotland manager Berti Vogts has called up Craig Burley for the first time in 18 months for the friendly against Austria on April 30th.

The Derby midfielder has been unavailable since Vogts began his reign 14 months ago due to injury.

Motherwell striker James McFadden has also been included in the 21-man squad for the game at Hampden Park.

The 20-year-old has caught the eye in recent weeks, most notably his display in the Tennent's Scottish Cup semi-final against Rangers on Saturday.
