Miller time for young Scots

Lee Miller has been a big hit with Falkirk

Scotland's under 21 coach Rainer Bonhof has drafted in Falkirk's Lee Miller for the first time in his squad to face the Republic of Ireland at Rugby Park on Tuesday 11 February.

Miller, 19, has banged in 10 goals for the First Division leaders this season and recently enjoyed a trial period with Everton.

The squad also contains several players with full international experience, including James McFadden, Gareth Williams and Garry O'Connor.

Sunderland striker Kevin Kyle is in both the senior and under-21 squads.
