Steve Clarke's side face Israel at Hampden Park on Friday and then travel to the Czech Republic three days later. It will be a maiden taste of the international stage for Dykes, who was born on the Gold Coast to parents from Dumfries. He began his professional career with Queen of the South before moving to Livingston and then joining English Championship side QPR this month. The 24-year-old had the option of representing his native country but elected for Clarke's men due to his belief that his succesful rise was forged in Scotland. "Scotland gave me my chance for my career. I have only played professional four or five years but, without Scotland, God knows where I would have been," Dykes said on Monday.

Without Scotland, I wouldn't be playing football." smg/bsp
