Alexander in Scottish Squad
Neil Alexander has been called up to the Scotland squad for their crucial European Qualification match against Lithuania.

Scotland need a victory, and must hope Germany beat Iceland to secure a Play-off place for the championships, where they could potentially face Wales for a place in Portugal.

Alexander has yet to gain a Scottish cap, and is very unlikely to be given a game in the Scots' final qualification fixture.

Congratulations to Neil on the call-up, and good luck to Scotland against Lithuania.

The complete squad is as follows:

Goalkeepers
Neil Alexander (Cardiff City) Robert Douglas (Celtic) Derek Stillie (Dunfermline Athletic)

Defenders
Graham Alexander (Preston North End) Steven Caldwell (Newcastle United) Christian Dailly (West Ham United) Steven Pressley (Hearts) Andy Webster (Hearts) Lee Wilkie (Dundee)

Midfielders
Colin Cameron (Wolverhampton Wanderers) Paul Devlin (Watford) Barry Ferguson (Blackburn Rovers) Darren Fletcher (Manchester United) Kevin Harper (Portsmouth) Jackie McNamara (Celtic) Gary Naysmith (Everton) Gavin Rae (Dundee)

Forwards
Stephen Crawford (Dunfermline Athletic) Paul Dickov (Leicester City) Neil McCann (Southampton) James McFadden (Everton) Kenny Miller (Wolverhampton Wanderers)
