Feeney tells Scots to watch their Beck

Aug 17 2008 By Scott Mcdermott

WARREN FEENEY has warned Scotland that Northern Ireland's answer to David Beckham is after a hat-trick of goals against the home nations.

The on-loan Dundee United hit man will battle it out with Rangers' Kyle Lafferty for the right to partner Fulham striker David Healy at Hampden.

Warren revealed Healy is a national hero in his homeland and said: "David's 34 goals in 64 internationals is incredible.

"And I can't see his record of 13 goals in one qualifying campaign ever being broken.

"It would mean a lot to him to score on Wednesday. He's netted against Wales, England and now hopefully Scotland.

"He got in bother against Celtic for pretending to play the flute but said after the game he signed autographs for their fans who took it in good banter.

"David's not that type. He does lots for charity, has opened soccer schools and is like the Beckham of Northern Ireland."
