The talented forward, who has 10 caps for Gibraltar, took time out after his morning training session with his team-mates to spend half an hour conducting a meet and greet with passionate local Reds fans.

There is clearly a lot of local pride in Scanlon's progress - former Reds defender Danny Higginbotham also represented the country during the end of his career.
