Dyer hopes Euro 2020 carrot spurs on Killie duo
Alex Dyer hopes Kilmarnock can benefit as the race for Scotland' s Euro 2020 places starts.
Rugby Park duo Stuart Find lay and Eamonn Brophy have international experience but were not involved last week as their former Kil lie boss Steve Clarke led the Scots to qualification for next summer's finals.
But Clarke' s former national team No 2 Dyer sees no reason why the pair cannot force themselves back into contention.
The Killie manager is well aware that bosses across the country will be saying the same to their own Scotland hopefuls as the Pre - miership action resumes this weekend.
But, with the majority of the names in Clarke's squad already inked in, he has urged Findlay and Brophy to demonstrate they should be picked by shining on club duty, starting with tomorrow's visit of Ross County.
He said: "I hope this carrot of the Euros can help us. Our two boys Stuart and Eamonn are good lads, they' re working hard having had a taste of the international team and they want a taste again.
"As long as they do well for Kilmarnock, which is the first thing they have to concentrate on, then if they do it will be up to the gaffer to make that choice.
"All they can do is work hard for Kilmarnock.
"There will be players up and down the country - as well as down south - working hard to make sure they have a chance.
"Opportunities like this might only come around once in your lifetime. It's a big opportunity and these guys will want to have a taste of it.”
