Weir confident Scotland has quality players to make Euro 2012

Veteran defender David Weir insists the current crop of players are good enough for Scotland to qualify for their first major finals in more than a decade. "There is no doubt there is enough quality," he said.

"You only have to look at the names on the team-sheets and the level they are playing at and the experience they've got to realise there is enough quality.

"It's just a matter of producing it and doing it on a regular basis but I don't think there is any question there is enough quality there."

And he expects Rangers club-mate Kenny Miller to have a big part to play in these two matches, having netted five goals in the Scottish champions' opening three SPL games.

Weir said: "He is very important. He is a proven goalscorer and he has done it for years for Scotland. He has scored a lot of goals and he has contributed a lot.

"You can see how well he has started the season for Rangers, he is in top form. When Kenny Miller is in top form, he is a handful."
