Dykes aiming to be Bel of the ball

LYNDON DYKES has told the Tartan Army he's still the man to score big goals for Scotland.

And the striker has vowed to bury any chance he gets against Belarus tomorrow night.

Dykes squandered a golden opportunity against Denmark in the Scots’ goalless World Cup qualifying opener on Friday.

Steve Clarke's side secured a vital point in Copenhagen to get their Group C campaign off to a positive start.

Dykes was given the nod up front alongside Che Adams but admits he missed a gilt-edged second-half chance.

But the 29-year-old - who hasn't scored for Scotland in 13 games, since an equaliser against Norway in Oslo two years ago - is adamant he WILL hit the goal trail for his country again.

Dykes, who has always been backed by Clarke, said: "The manager knows what I bring.

"As a player, I will put my heart on the line and will work as hard as anyone else on the pitch to try and get a win for the team.

"I have scored big goals for Scotland, especially in the last qualifying campaign.
