Tuesday, 4th Nov 2014 13:18

Town centre-half Christophe Berra has been named in the Scotland squad for their games against the Republic of Ireland and England later this month.

The Scots take on the Irish in an important Euro 2016 qualifier on Friday 14th November and then England in a friendly on Tuesday 18th November with both games being played at Celtic Park.

Berra, who has previously won 28 caps, scoring two goals, could face his Town room-mate Daryl Murphy, who is in the Irish squad for the qualifier along with Blues loanee Conor Sammon, while David McGoldrick could also be added to the party if the paperwork relating to his qualification is confirmed in time.

Ireland are currently second in Group D on seven points from three games behind leaders Poland on goal difference, with Scotland fourth on four behind third-placed Germany with everyone having played three games.

Scotland: Matt Gilks (Burnley), Craig Gordon (Celtic), David Marshall (Cardiff City), Phil Bardsley (Stoke City), Christophe Berra (Ipswich Town), Craig Forsyth (Derby County), Gordon Greer (Brighton and Hove Albion), Grant Hanley (Blackburn Rovers), Russell Martin (Norwich City), Andrew Robertson (Hull City), Steven Whittaker (Norwich City), Ikechi Anya (Watford), Barry Bannan (Crystal Palace), Scott Brown (Celtic), Craig Bryson (Derby County), Chris Burke (Nottingham Forest), Graham Dorrans (West Bromwich Albion), Darren Fletcher (Manchester United), Lewis Macleod (Rangers), Shaun Maloney (Wigan Athletic), James McArthur (Crystal Palace), James Morrison (West Bromwich Albion), Charlie Mulgrew (Celtic), Steven Fletcher (Sunderland), Chris Martin (Derby County), Steven May (Sheffield Wednesday), Steven Naismith (Everton).

bohslegend added 15:47 - Nov 4 Don't think either will play NoCanaries so not too big a risk. Would be more likely that they will be involved in the friendlies v England and USA.
