Kevin Kyle reminded Scotland boss George Burley of his international credentials with a second-half double to help Kilmarnock to a 2-1 win over St Johnstone at Rugby Park.

Kyle was called in to the Scotland squad for the World Cup qualifying double header against Macedonia and Holland in September after a five-year absence but had to withdraw with a knee injury.

Burley will soon name his squad for the friendly game against Wales in Cardiff next month and with another two crucial goals, the Killie captain will have done his chances little harm. "I go out there to do my job, to score goals for Kilmarnock and try and help them win points," he said.

"If I'm doing that, whatever comes with it is just a bonus.

"I have been picked for two squads, the second time after call-offs. "If I get a call-up again it's something that I will look forward to and hopefully I can get involved if I get the opportunity.

"It's just nice to be talked about in that sort of breath again. "It's obviously a privilege to play for your country and I'm no different, I would love another crack at it and see where it takes me.

"But it's just nice to score and get the three points."
