Newcastle midfielder represented both nations at youth levelAnderson could make debut in Hampden match between sides
Steve Clarke has revealed that Newcastle midfielder Elliot Anderson decided against switching allegiance to England following positive discussions with the Scotland manager ahead of his first senior call-up. Anderson has been called into Clarke’s squad for the Euro 2024 qualifier against Cyprus, and a friendly against England next month.
Anderson has represented Scotland at Under-16, Under-17 and Under-18 level prior to playing a training-ground friendly for England Under-19s against Arsenal Under-23s in 2021. The attacking midfielder made a sole Scotland Under-21 appearance against Belgium in June 2022 before turning down further call-ups from Scot Gemmill as he considered his international future.
