Jambos' lithuanian ace backs Scots for the finals

Hearts' Lithuanian star Audrius Ksanavicius has backed Scotland toqualify for the Euro 2008 finals.

The Tynecastle winger is in line to face Alex McLeish's men atHampden tomorrow, and is full of praise for his adopted new homeland.

Ksanavicius is convinced the Scots can pull of a shock and splitFrance and Italy at the top of Group B.

"The most dangerous thing about Scotland is not so much theirindividuals but the way their team plays as a unit," he said.

"I think they have a good chance of qualifying from the group andit's up to them to capitalise on their encouraging start."

Ksanavicius watched from the stands as his country slumped to a 2-1 defeat to the Scots in Kaunas with Christian Dailly and KennyMiller both on target.

But the 30-year-old wide player is back in Lithuania'sinternational plans and is eager to impress at Hampden.

He added: "I'm very happy to be called up again although it wasmainly down to injury that I missed out for so long.

"I am looking forward to the game and believe we're capable ofgetting a draw although it's going to be difficult.

"We always seem to play well against Scotland but never get theresults we possibly deserve and we were unlucky the last time wemet."

Lithuania have six Hearts players in their squad with Ksanavicius,Saulius Mikoliunas, Deividas Cesnauskis, Andrius Velicka, RicardasBeniusis and Kestutis Ivaskevicius all hoping to feature at Hampden.
