Centre-half Berra has previously been capped 28 times by his country, scoring two goals.

Kentish_Tractor added 12:32 - May 12 Why are Scotland playing at Craven Cottage? Anyway, hope he gets to play at least part of the game. He deserves his recall after the season he's had.

ChayITFC added 16:51 - May 12 Excuse me tractors down south what makes you think you can insult Scotland I bet you like Berra so why insult the country he plays for he has been part of the Scotland squad for years. I doubt he will get much game time as Caldwell has been called up

Ipswichbusiness added 13:54 - May 13 It shows how things have changed for Scotland; 30 years ago their squad would have consisted of players from Rangers and Celtic plus the top English division, but now they're having to search the Championship. Arguably, the influx of "foreign" players to the English game has hit Scotland harder than England.
