Paterson called up for Northern Ireland

Uncapped Scunthorpe striker Martin Paterson has been called into Northern Ireland's squad for their final two Euro 2008 qualifiers against Denmark and Spain later this month.

The 20-year-old, who has scored seven goals in 15 matches for the Coca-Cola Championship club this season, has been promoted from the U-21s.

Fulham defender Chris Baird and Cardiff forward Warren Feeney return to the squad after missing last month's 1-1 draw due to suspension.

Burnley striker Kyle Lafferty is included in the squad despite being suspended for the Denmark game.
