KIRK BROADFOOT will look out his old Holland top on Wednesday night as he plonks himself in front of the TV to cheer on the Dutch.

The Rangers defender is hoping that Norway don't build on the point they got at Hampden on Saturday.

And he has admitted that if a freak result were to take place and Norway left Holland with three points, the writing would be on the wall for George Burley's side.

After Saturday's stalemate, the Rangers defender admits it is an uphill battle for Scotland to make it the World Cup Finals now.

"If Norway go to Holland and come away with a win maybe it is all over, but if Holland beat them we still have a chance," said the affable defender.

"Holland were favourites from the word go and if they beat Norway then we'll still be above them, so who knows. If we win the rest of our games things can still go our way."

Broadfoot's Ibrox mate, Kris Boyd, dramatically announced his international retirement on Saturday night after his patience snapped with Burley.

Left on the bench as Steven Fletcher and Chris Iwelumo were favoured at the expense of James McFadden, Boyd's fury has resulted in him walking away from the national side.

It remains to be seen whether he will be talked out of his decision or if this is the end of the road for him - while Burley is in charge.

Certainly, it was hard not to think on Saturday afternoon - as Iwelumo's shot sclaffed off his ankle and bounced horribly wide - that Boyd would have burst the back of the net with such an invite.

"The big man got himself on the end of a chance and missed it, but these things happen and we're all still behind him," said Broadfoot.

"He is big enough and strong enough to deal with it. The important thing is that he was there and putting himself in the right position and I am sure he will get over it.

"I don't know about whether or not someone else would have scored it. These things happen in football and it's all ifs, buts and maybes.

"The best strikers in the world have missed chances and have off days and that's just the way it goes."

And while Broadfoot couldn't hide his disappointment with having to settle for a point against the Norwegians, he admitted that it could have been even worse.

Scotland too often looked disjointed and out of sorts on Saturday and the visitors probably created more genuine chances to win the game that Scotland did.

The physical presence and the mobility of John Carew was a constant threat to the Scottish backline and had he taken a few of the chances that came his way it could all have been over for Burley's side.

"We were all disappointed because we were at home and we wanted to win. We had chances, but to be fair so did they.

"Carew was tremendous and a tough guy to play against. It was one of those games where they came to stop us playing and they did that well. But we played better in the second half."
