Assistant manager Terry Butcher has hinted that the door remains open for Kris Boyd to return for Scotland.
In October, the Rangers striker said he would not play for his country again under manager George Burley.
"If he decided to go about things in a different way and say that he wanted to play, that's up to him then it's up to George," Butcher told BBC Sport.
"We want to see Scottish players doing well, we want to see Scottish players scoring goals."
Boyd was upset after being overlooked during Scotland's 0-0 draw with Norway and took exception to Burley saying that he needed to prove himself at club level.
The 25-year-old forward is currently leading the scoring charts with 18 goals so far, 14 of those coming in the 12 games since his decision to withdraw from international football.
"If you have a personal cause, that can make you play better and give you the incentive to do even better," added Butcher, a former Rangers defender. "Kris has had that.
"George should go cap in hand and get Boyd because we don't have the luxury of top strikers"
"A lot of people asked how he would respond and he has responded very well.
"A lot of the players have said they are seeing a different Kris Boyd in the way that he runs around and contributes to the general play, which is fantastic."
In 15 appearances for Scotland Boyd has netted an impressive seven goals.
Burley's response to Boyd's choice was to say that he only wanted players who were "totally committed" to the Scotland cause and stood by his selections in the World Cup qualifying match at Hampden.
However, former Scotland striker Frank McAvennie believes the manager must make overtures to bring Boyd back into the fold.

"George Burley must be sitting very uncomfortably because Boyd is scoring every week and (Rangers manager) Walter Smith is playing him every week," said the man who won just five Scotland caps despite his prolific record at both Celtic and West Ham in the 1980s.
"George should go cap in hand and get Boyd because we don't have the luxury of top strikers.
"Whatever the difference is they should work it out because he is a proven goal-scorer and he's working well with Kenny Miller at Rangers.
"Miller is a good player but he's not a goal-scorer and I think those two are the ones who can help us get the points Scotland need."
