CHRIS IWELUMO is desperate to play against Argentina and make amends for the now infamous sitter that cost Scotland victory against Norway.
The World Cup qualifier at Hampden last month proved to be a debut to forget for the Wolves striker when he somehow managed to miss an empty net from a few yards out.
The match ended in a goalless stalemate that could yet prove costly to Scotland'
s hopes of qualifying for South Africa in 2010.
But the big forward is relishing the opportunity to pull on the dark blue jersey once again and prove he is good enough to play for his country after all.
"I'm desperate for another Scotland game," he said. "I've watched it again but my missus made me delete it from the Sky Plus after about five days. It was a low point for myself but you've just got to take it on the chin.
"It was hard to take but the character I am I feel good, I'm enjoying playing, scoring goals.
"Hopefully I can do that for my country, that's my dream. I'm a proud Scot, love my country, so I'm delighted to be in the squad.
"I spoke with the gaffer (George Burley) a couple of times on the phone and he's been different class. He knows what I bring to the game and I felt great after I came off the phone to him. Hopefully, I can repay his faith."
