Burley Drafts In O’Connor

August 31, 2009

Scotland Boss, George Burley, has called up Birmingham City hitman, Gary O’Connor, for the forthcoming World Cup Qualifying matches against Macedonia and Holland after Kilmarnock striker, Kevin Kyle, withdrew from the squad due to injury.

The Killie frontman misses out after damaging a cartilage during his side’s 3-1 Co-operative Insurance Cup victory over Greenock Morton last Tuesday.

O’Connor, who has won 15 caps for his country and scored on four occasions, joins a squad that are eager to bounce back from their 4-0 humbling against Norway earlier this month. Ideally, six points are needed from next month’s double-header if the Tartan Army are to have any hope of reaching the Play-offs for the final stages of the competition to be held in South Africa next year.
