Dons striker Jermaine Easter has been included in the Wales squad to face Scotland next weekend, as John Toshack's side host their first international at the brand new Cardiff City Stadium.

Having returned to the Welsh fold in last month's 2-0 win over Liechtenstein, the Cardiff-born front-man will be hoping to win his ninth cap for his country in next Saturday's international friendly in his home town.

He will subsequently miss the Dons' Johnstone's Paint Trophy tie against Northampton Town on Tuesday and the crucial League 1 trip to Charlton Athletic four days later.

Easter has been in outstanding form since joining the Dons from Plymouth Argyle in the summer - the 27-year-old striker racing to 10 goals already this season.

His performances for Paul Ince's side were good enough to earn him an international recall in Vaduz - the former Wolves and Wycombe striker playing 90 minutes to win his first Wales cap in nearly two years.

Jermaine will join up with the Wales squad early next week ahead of the game against Scotland next Saturday, which kicks off in Cardiff at 3.00pm.
