Scumjob Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 The lad at Philadelphia Union keeping Findlay out the side, Jack Elliott, is Scottish qualified via both parents and by all accounts is a very handy player in the MLS. I wonder if he'd need to move to Europe to get a callup though or whether the MLS is a good enough level already as must admit I've not watched any of it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn’t seem to get a game, but was born in Dundee in the late 90s when his Dad was at United, for three league games. Would be nice if Dortmund started ransacking our youth teams. German clubs seem to have had great success at pilfering English youth of late. I'd give my left nut for some German club to produce a Jude Bellingham or Jadon Sancho for us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the snudge Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 Right back ye say? Get him in... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
albagubrath Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 He’s genuinely brilliant, but England have more excellent right backs than we have left backs. Even though he is a starting EPL right back at 18, he’s probably got no chance of getting in their squad. He probably won’t even start for their 21s. If he genuinely wants to play for us then brilliant. The cynic in me says he is flagging his eligibility to force England’s hand, but I suppose if there were true you’d think he’d go for Portugal over us…? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mean Gene Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 You never know. If his mum is patriotic enough it could have rubbed off on him, would say we have a decent chance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigkillie Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 He's currently in the England U21 squad which suggests his current thoughts. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bing.McCrosby Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 None of us know him so we can't guess at how he thinks or feels. The fact he has brought it up tho is positive. Are the sfa even aware of him or his eligibility? I'd guess not. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would rather see us developing Scottish players who first and foremost want to pay for Scotland not see it as an alternative to a very short international career that will boost their earning power. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This thread was started out of interest to see who is eligible for us. It is just a topic for discussion is not an actual campaign to call these players up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donathan Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 Harvey Barnes would instantly be one of our top 3-4 players. Is there any possibility of him choosing Scotland? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mizfit Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 Harvey Barnes would instantly be one of our top 3-4 players. Is there any possibility of him choosing Scotland? Not a chance, he’s already been talked up as the next big thing in England. If we were to get him, it would be a massive statement but I suspect when he’s back from injury England will get him capped pronto. We’d need to be calling him daily and using Robertsons influence to try and land him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’d need to be calling him daily and using Robertsons influence to try and land him. I doubt he is going to choose Scotland anytime soon but he's not England's next big thing. He is a winger and is not getting picked because Foden, Saka, Grealish, Sancho, Sterling, Greenwood and Rashford all play in similar positions and are in front of him, only Sterling and Grealish are older then him out of these players as well. I think he's good enough to get a cap for England but due to the competition for places I doubt he will get that many but 5-10 England caps may mean the world to him so the chance to be Scotland's best player may not be in his mind and that is fair enough. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
