FIVE Rangers players have been included in George Burley's Scotland squad for the training camp at St Andrews next week.

 

Barry Ferguson, Allan McGregor, David Weir, Kirk Broadfoot and Kenny Miller have all been summoned to the get-together from February 8-10.

 

Allan McGregor, ScotlandNational coach Burley sees the gathering as hugely important ahead of next month's World Cup qualifier against Holland in Amsterdam and the home clash with Iceland.

 

He said: "I'm really looking forward to getting the boys together again as we step up our preparations for the crucial double-header against the Dutch and Iceland.

 

"The gathering gives us the chance to have a couple of training sessions and to work on the tactics for the games.

 

"We have a strong group of players who are passionate about playing for Scotland. We are all ready to take our country to South Africa."

 

National youth coach Billy Stark will have a similar meeting for under-21 players in Dunblane next week and four Ibrox youngsters have been summoned to that.

 

Rory Loy, on loan at Dunfermline until the end of the season, is among three players who have made temporary moves away that have been called upon.

 

Andrew Shinnie - currently at Dundee - and Jordan McMillan, who is spending the rest of the campaign at Hamilton, are the others.

 

Completing the quartet is goalkeeper Scott Gallacher, who spent time at Cowdenbeath before Christmas.
