Manchester United midfielder Scott McTominay set for first Scotland call-up, confirms manager Alex McLeish

Manchester United midfielder Scott McTominay will be included in Alex McLeish's first squad as Scotland manager for the upcoming friendly against Costa Rica.

The 21-year-old, who has Scottish grandparents, announced his decision to represent Scotland at international level earlier this week, shunning the advances of England in the process.

New manager McLeish revealed McTominay had shown a 'passion' for Scotland in a recent meeting and believes the Scottish Football Association have 'nailed it' by convincing him to choose them over the Three Lions.
