Skipper backs under-fire boss
Scotland skipper Barry Ferguson has revealed he will consider his own international career at the end of the World Cup qualifying campaign.
The Rangers midfielder, who is recovering from ankle surgery, says he will make a decision on his Scotland career once qualification for 2010 is finished.
In the wake of Kris Boyd's shock decision to quit the international scene, Ferguson has said he will consider his own future when the current campaign finishes.
"I'm going to play until the campaign ends and then I'll take it from there," Ferguson told
Sky Sports News.
"That's what I've done all along.
"It's the one thing that's missing; I've never reached a major finals for my country."
"I will play until the end and then see once this qualification comes to an end."
Support
Ferguson also gave his backing to under-fire boss George Burley.
Burley has come in for criticism from all corners amid talk of unrest among the players in the Scotland camp.
The former Ipswich and Southampton chief has also been blasted over the tactics he employed in Saturday's goalless draw with Norway.
Burley's future has come under the microscope following recent events, but Ferguson says he supports the manager.
"I think Gordon Smith [SFA chief executive] stated he [Burley] is on a three or four-year contract and I think you have got to give him a chance and I will certainly be behind him," added Ferguson.
