Golden oldie Scotland bid

VETERAN defender Graham Alexander insists he still has what it takes to do the business for Scotland in the looming World Cup campaign.

Despite being nearly 37 the Burnley full-back believes he has the ability to help Scotland reach the finals in South Africa in 2010.

Alexander wasn't involved in George Burley's last squad in Prague in the friendly 3-1 defeat to the Czechs.

But he insists he has no intention of retiring from international football.

Graham said: "I believe I can play a part in the World Cup campaign.

"Even if it's only for a couple of games, or a one-off, I will be available.

"There are a lot of good players out there who I'm competing against but I've never let Scotland down and if the chance comes I'll take it."
