Great news and wish him well

Wonder what position they will play him in. Do they think he is still a full back? If they played him at right back and he was brilliant it would solve a problem for us.

Being that their two strikers are out it would be feasible to assume that they will play him as a striker

Former Hearts player earns Scotland call after strike duo pull out ahead of National league games

Oli McBurnie and Lawrence Shankland are unavailable for the double header against Israel and the Czech Republic



Former Hearts player Callum Paterson has been called up to the Scotland squad after strike duo Oli McBurnie and Lawrence Shankland pulled out.

Steve Clarke opted to give the Cardiff City utility man a call after being left short on attacking options for the upcoming Nations League double header against Israel and the Czech Republic.

Shankland has been struggling with an ankle injury although no reason has yet been given for McBurnie's call off.

Paterson can play right back and centre forward although you have to imagine Clarke is planning to use in in striking role. The player has also featured heavily in the centre of midfield for his club.

The 25-year-old left Hearts in 2017 before joining the Welsh side. He'll get his Championship season underway when Cardiff host Sheffield Wednesday after the international break on Saturday 12 September.

Scotland face Israel on Friday, 4 September before taking on the Czech Republic on Monday, 7 September.

A strange one this.
I believe he was signed as a fullback but Warnock said he couldn’t defend.
It looks like Harris agrees with him because I may be wrong but I don’t remember him ver starting as a fullback for us.

He has not, but i will say that the times he played right side of midfield he did a very good job when coming back to the right back position to cover there!
