Newcastle midfielder pulled out of Scotland squad last monthPlayer is English by birth and represented England at U19 level
Steve Clarke has called on Newcastle United’s Elliot Anderson to be given “time and space” to decide whether his international future lies with Scotland or England.
The 20-year-old Anderson, who is English by birth, was selected by Clarke for Scotland’s September double-header. Anderson withdrew from the squad after two training sessions amid suggestions he was having second thoughts about playing for Scotland. Anderson represented England between Under-16 and Under-19 level and made one appearance for Scotland’s Under-21s.
