Southampton's Danny Fox is aiming to take his chance with both hands after being handed a first Scotland call-up for three years.

The 26-year-old left-back, who picked up his only cap to date in a 3-0 defeat to Wales during his spell at Scottish giants Celtic, is named in Craig Levein's squad for next week's friendly against Australia at Easter Road as Rangers left-back Lee Wallace misses out.
On his call-up, Fox told Saints Player: "I'd put it (international football) to the back of my mind having not been called up for so long, but it's nice
"It's a compliment to me and a compliment to the staff, the manager and the players that I'm playing with because my form has reflected how we've done as a team.
"Southampton is my bread-and-butter so that comes before anything else, but this is an honour and is something I want to take with both hands."
Meanwhile summer signing Steven Davis has also been called up to skipper Northern Ireland for a friendly against Finland next Wednesday at Windsor Park.
The game is for Irish coach Michael O'Neill to prepare his squad ahead of their World Cup qualifier against Russia in Moscow on September 7.
