Ex-Newcastle boss Carver full of praise for Anderson

Former Newcastle United boss John Carver is convinced by Elliot Anderson's potential.

Carver is currently Scotland assistant coach.

He said, "He's physically developed well. He's just at the start of his career so we can't get carried away at the moment.

"He's up here having a look at us, we're having a look at him. As a player, what excites me is he's so brave, he wants the ball, he finds himself in little pockets and wants to play.

"He receives the ball when there's a man really tight with him and he can score goals. He had a super pre-season in America. I watched all of the games. He had a really good summer. He's got a bright future."

Anderson was called up by Scotland last week, but was forced to withdraw due to injury.
