Scotland manager Gordon Strachan has praised Kris Boyd for working his way back into the international setup.

The Kilmarnock striker was recently added to the Scotland squad for Tuesday's friendly against Norway, three years after his last appearance for the team.

"Kris has always said he was determined to return to the international squad. Now he has that opportunity again and I am delighted for him," Sky Sports News quotes Strachan as saying.

"He is a terrific professional who works hard on his game. Having spoken to a lot of people about him, they are of the same opinion as me - that Kris is an asset to any squad with his goalscoring capabilities."

Boyd scored seven goals during his previous 18 matches for Scotland.
