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.
