Jack hoping for Scottish support

Trinidad and Tobago 'keeper Kelvin Jack believes Scottish supporters have more reason to back them after they drew England in the World Cup draw.

The Caribbean team will also play Sweden and Paraguay in Group B.

"I already knew that we would have fans from Scotland wanting us to do well because we have players at clubs up here," Jack told his club website.

"But now that we are playing England maybe there will be a few more Scots cheering us on."

The Dundee star will be joined in the squad for Germany next summer by several Scottish-based players.

Also expected to be in the squad are Marvin Andrews (Rangers), Russell Latapy (Falkirk), Jason Scotland (St Johnstone) and Collin Samuel (Dundee United).

Trinidad and Tobago are scheduled to face Sven-Goran Eriksson's team in Nuremberg on 15 June and Jack said: "This is a dream come true for me and the rest of our players.

"There are so many of our boys playing in Britain - over a dozen I think - so it can hardly be more exciting.

"We are such a small nation, with a population of just over one million people.

"And, while being involved in the World Cup is a great thing for every country going to Germany, this is one of the greatest things to ever happen to us."
