Czech Republic vs. Scotland: Anya urges new boys to seize their chance

Ikechi Anya hopes Scotland's new faces can make a name for themselves in Thursday's international friendly against Czech Republic.

Scotland international Ikechi Anya has urged Scott Bain, Kenny McLean, Kevin McDonald and Tony Watt to grab their chance when they take on the Czech Republic on Thursday.

Bain, McLean, McDonald and Watt are all in line to make their Scotland debuts in Prague as Gordon Strachan's men kick-off preparations for their 2018 World Cup qualification campaign after missing out on Euro 2016.

Anya won his first cap in September 2013 as a relative unknown, only to go on to become a regular for Scotland, and he hopes the quartet of new faces can make a similar impact on the national team.
