Celtic young gun Watt surprised but honoured by Scotland call

Tony Watt admits it was a surprise to be notified that he had been selected for Scotland on Tuesday.

The 19-year old Celtic striker was included by Scots boss Gordon Strachan for the 2014 World Cup qualifier with Croatia in Zagreb on June 7 and was thrilled to be given the chance to possibly make his international debut.

"I'm buzzing. I can't wait to go and meet up with the boys and get started," Watt said.

"It was a surprise, but obviously I was delighted to hear the news.

"It's an honour to play for your country. It's been one of my dreams."
