Rangers midfielder Connor Barron has received a surprise call-up to the Scotland national team. The young talent will join the squad for their upcoming Nations League match against Portugal.
Barron’s absence from the Scotland under-21 squad had earlier sparked concerns about a potential injury. However, it has now been confirmed that he has been selected to replace Celtic winger James Forrest, who has withdrawn from the team due to injury.
The 21-year-old has previously been part of the Scotland first team squad and could now make his senior debut. With the reasons for his earlier absence now clarified, Barron is expected to be fit to travel to Kilmarnock for their upcoming match, provided he remains injury-free.
