Fulham midfielder Tom Cairney wants to force his way into the Scotland team under returning manager Alex McLeish.
Cairney, 27, was capped once by former boss Gordon Strachan against Canada in a friendly last year.
His attacking football has helped steer Fulham to third in the Sky Bet Championship and he wants to make his mark when McLeish's new regime begins with friendlies against Costa Rica on Friday - live on Sky Sports Football - and Hungary next Tuesday.
"I have been playing well the last few seasons for Fulham and I feel like I am getting better," he said.
"I don't think I am at my peak yet, but I feel like I am playing good football and hopefully I can carry that on at Scotland.
"I will look to do what I do for my club, get on the ball, try to make good play and nick a goal when I can.
"I am 27 now and have played a lot of games so I would like to think that I could try to get a place in this team as hard as that is.
"It is a new start, new regime and has a good feeling to it. He (McLeish) will look at everyone over the next two games and take it from there.
"So hopefully we can get off to a good start on Friday."
