Reds Duo In Oranje Squad


Liverpool duo Dirk Kuyt and Ryan Babel have been called up to Holland's squad ahead of the resumption of their World Cup qualification campaign later this month.

The Reds pair are among five players from the Premier League to be named in Bert van Marwijk's 25-man provosional squad with Robin van Persie (Arsenal), Nigel de Jong (Manchester City) and Andre Ooijer (Blackburn) also included.

Celtic striker Jan Vennegoor of Hesselink was also named and could come up against some of his club team-mates with Oranje hosting Scotland in Amsterdam on March 28.

They will then welcome Macedonia to the Dutch capital three days later as they look to build on their five-point gap at the top of Group Nine.
