International career

Burley played for Scotland in the 1998 World Cup in France and scored in the 1–1 draw with Norway in the second match of the tournament.[2] He was then sent off in the final group game against Morocco as Scotland were eliminated.[3]

Burley continued to be a significant player under Craig Brown until the end of the unsuccessful 2002 FIFA World Cup qualifying campaign,[4] captaining the side in what proved to be his penultimate appearance. After suffering injury problems, Burley won a Scotland recall against Austria in 2003 under new manager Berti Vogts but then announced his international retirement.[4]

Commentary career

Burley previously worked as a pundit and commentator for Setanta Sports and is currently with ESPN[5] and Radio 5 Live.
