Burke wants to make Scotland mark

Burke was fast-tracked into the Scotland squad last year and won five caps, but isn't in the current plans of manager Gordon Strachan and is instead an integral part of the U21 side who play the Netherlands on Tuesday.

"It's been a bit up and down with Scotland. I think I have to prove myself again," said Burke, who made the £15m move to West Brom last week.

"I think there was a lot of pressure with everything that came with me moving to RB Leipzig in Germany, and it all happened very quickly.

"I went into the 'A' team and was expected to be, almost, the main man, and help everybody and win us games, which is quite a lot of pressure at a young age.

"But I don't regret what's happened. It's helped me and I think you learn from getting overwhelmed about things - you just want to move on and improve yourself.

"When you have a bit of a down period and everything isn't going so well, you stay humble and you just want to prove everybody wrong, and I hope I can do that. I hope Gordon sees what I'm capable of and can bring me into the team again, hopefully soon.

"[This game] is a great opportunity for me to prove I'm capable to play in the 'A' team. I have to help the boys as much as I can, and try to be a leader in a way and help them drive through. I'm excited, I really am, to be playing football and enjoying it, and it's a great bunch of boys."

The 20-year-old winger will hope to have an impact for the U21s and earn a re-call to the senior squad in the near future.
