I PLAYED alongside Chris Burke for a year and a bit at Rangers so I was delighted last week when he took just 45 minutes to become my man of the match on his Scotland recall against Estonia.

He was always quick and had natural ability, he just needed a bit more experience and he has got that now.
He is touching 30 and has made his way back in to the international set-up the hard way, having gone from two goals from his first two caps to a seven-year absence from the national team, but he looked a real find the other night. It wasn't until later in my career that I became a Scotland regular and maybe the same can happen to Burke.
