Iwulemo flies out with Scotland squad

Chris in Levein’s plans for Sweden friendly

Published: 10/08/2010

CHRIS Iwulemo is looking for his first chance to impress Scotland boss Craig Levein against Sweden tomorrow night.

The big striker was an unused substitute in Levein’s first game in charge of the national side, the 1-0 friendly win over the Czech Republic at Hampden in March.

However, a raft of withdrawals ahead of the Stockholm friendly mean the Burnley striker, who made a scoring debut for the Clarets in the 1-0 victory over Nottingham Forest at the weekend, could feature at some point in what is the last game before the Euro 2012 qualification campaign begins next month.

The former Wolves man hopes to stake his claim for a starting place in the double-header against Lithuania and Liechtenstein.
