THE internationals return this weekend with a host of Rovers players in action all over the globe.

Morten Gamst Pedersen doesn't have far to travel as Saturday sees Norway travel to Hampden Park to take on Scotland. Norway have played just the one game in Group 9, a 2-2 draw against Iceland last month.

Next Wednesday will see Norway then face the Netherlands, and with it Pedersen will face fellow Rovers team-mate Andre Ooijer. For Holland this Saturday, they take on Iceland in Rotterdam looking to build on their opening round win away at Macedonia.

Away from Group 9, Zurab Khizanishvili should captain Georgia as they take on Cyprus in Tblisi. Georgia go into the game looking to pick up their first points in qualifying, defeats to Ireland and Italy leave them bottom of Group 8.

Benni McCarthy and Aaron Mokoena should feature for South Africa as they face Equatorial Guinea in Malabo. With South Africa already qualified as hosts, their games are part of qualification for the African Cup of Nations, but they have had a poor period so far, picking up just four points from their five games.

Staying in Africa, Christopher Samba and his Congo side travel to the Sudan for their match this Saturday. Congo are just behind Mali on goal difference at the top of their African Group 10 with three wins from their five games played.
