Hibernian FC vs Dumbarton preview - Cummings eyes Scotland call-up
Posted Friday, October 10, 2014 by PA
Hibernian striker Jason Cummings hopes his scoring streak will land him a Scotland Under-21 spot.
The 19-year-old has hit four goals for the Leith men so far this season - including a double against Rangers at Ibrox last month - and is now setting his sights on Billy Stark's Dark Blues youth squad.
Cummings will now look to extend his run when Hibs host Dumbarton at Easter Road on Saturday.
The teenager - whose boss Alan Stubbs is still trying to land former Motherwell defender Paul Quinn - said: "You always look at it when the squad's come in and you always want to see your name on that list.
"That will definitely be an aim for me in the future to get myself in the Scotland team. Every player wants to be in your national team.
"I don't know [what I'll need to do] - maybe if I score three at Ibrox?
"I just need to keep working hard, keep going to the gym and eating well and doing my thing, then hopefully I'll catch someone's eye."
Dumbarton are missing Chris Turner (ankle) and on-loan St Johnstone striker Chris Kane (knee) as they look to make it six undefeated games in a row.
Manager Ian Murray said: "If we could end the first quarter on a good run of undefeated games then we would be delighted.
"We have Hibs, Hearts and then Rangers in our next three games and taking something from Easter Road would be a very good start to that run.
"We are the only side to take points from Hearts this season and we will need a similar performance to that one to do anything in this game."
