Charlie Adam has pleaded with Scotland manager Gordon Strachan to select him for their World Cup qualifier against England.

The 30-year-old, who won the last of his 26 caps in a friendly against Qatar in May of last year, starred for Stoke City in Monday's 3-1 win against Swansea City, his first start of the season.

Adam told talkSPORT: "I'm desperate to be a part of it. I want to get back in the Scotland set-up but there is only person that makes that choice and it's the manager.

"I haven't spoken to him since I last played. I have never had a conversation about why I was dropped or left out.

"We will see what happens. Performances like Monday will hopefully catch his eye and I will hopefully get back in."

Scotland have taken just four points from their opening three qualifiers.
