Miller Ready To Break Hearts

Last updated : 12 February 2009 By Stand Free Ed

DONS striker Lee Miller has returned from this week's Scotland squad gathering fit and ready to take on Hearts at Tynecastle this weekend.

Miller joined the rest of the national team squad to spent the a few days at their specially arranged get-together in St Andrews, and training at Dundee's Dens Park.

And Miller is sure to be full of nationalistic fervour as he rejoins a virtually 100% Scottish Aberdeen side as they take on Lithuanio-Lothian club Hearts on Valentine's Day.

Miller said: "I have enjoyed the get together. It has given me a further chance to get to know some of the boys a bit better.

"It has also given the manager George Burley the chance to see a bit more of me and a bit more of what I can do.

"We will see what happens but of course I would love to be involved in the squad for the Holland match, but Aberdeen have some big games between now and then and I will just be concentrating on that starting with Hearts on Saturday."

The gathering, organised because the SFA did not arrange a friendly for the national team this international week for whatever reason (but definitely not because there's an Old Firm game this weekend because it would be ridiculous if the SFA allowed itself to be dictated to by a couple of club sides), is the last time George Burley will see the players together before the vital match against Holland at the end of March.

Burley said: "We have a strong group of players who are passionate about playing for Scotland. We are all ready to take our country to South Africa."
