Scotland will return to Nations League action this week as they aim to retain their place in League A of the competition by defeating Greece in a relegation playoff.
Last week’s squad announcement saw exciting teenage talents Lennon Miller and James Wilson handed their maiden call-ups at the age of just 18, while it has now been confirmed that Sheffield-born striker George Hirst will join them after opting to switch his allegiance from England.
Following in the footsteps of Scott McTominay, Che Adams and Tommy Conway, the 26-year-old Ipswich Town forward had previously appeared at various youth levels for England, but has now opted to switch to the navy jersey of Scotland, whom he can represent due to the birthplace of his paternal grandfather.
But which other English born players are eligible to play for Scotland, should either Clarke or themselves opt to do so? Here are 10 players who could represent Scotland, despite being born in England.
9. Luis Binks - Coventry City
The 23-year-old defender is another who has represented both England and Scotland at youth levels, with the Gillingham born player eligible for Scotland via his maternal grandfather being from Dunbar. Signed on loan from Bologna last season, Binks joined the Sky Blues on a permanent deal in the summer and has featured sporadically in Coventry's surge up the EFL Championship table in recent months. | Getty Images Photo: Getty Images
10. Harvey Barnes - Newcastle United
Last but not least, the Magpies speedster has been linked to a Scotland call-up for over two years, with conversations already said to have taken place between himself and Steve Clarke previously. However, with no mention of Barnes switching nations for many months, hopes of securing Barnes' international future feel very unlikely. | Getty Images Photo: Getty Images
11. Chris Brady - Chicago Fire
The second player on this list not born in England, Brady is said to have already been contacted about representing Scotland in the future. The highly-rated 21-year-old goalkeeper is currently playing in the MLS with Chicago Fire, and recently stated his desire to make a mark on international football this coming season. | Getty Images Photo: Getty Images
