Newcastle trio now willing to commit to Scotland

Newcastle trio Anthony Gordon, Harvey Barnes and Tino Livramento could be Scotland-bound.

The stars are all eligible to play for England, but have not been selected by Gareth Southgate in recent squads.

Per Chronicle Live, all three are willing to change their allegiance to Scotland to play regularly at international level.

Gordon, Barnes and Livramento would get into Steve Clarke's Scotland squad with minimal issues.

"At Newcastle, there are four actually," ex-Newcastle interim boss and Scotland assistant John Carver explained in an interview with Chronicle Live.

"Elliot Anderson, Tino Livramento, Anthony Gordon and Harvey Barnes. We are always looking to add quality to the group. But we want players that want to be part of the journey.

"Some of the lads at Newcastle mentioned are just starting their careers at St James' Park and really need to concentrate on that first before they talk about which country they want to play for. That's the important part. I know I have been at Newcastle for a long time."

The former Magpies coach added: "The two youngsters such as Elliot and Anthony are different to somebody like say Harvey Barnes. Harvey has been called up by England and not had opportunities. Let's see what happens when Harvey is fit again.

"Anthony will make his decision when he needs to. England will force the issue because they would be mad not to. The four at Newcastle are just a handful. There are many others out there and we are always looking to improve and make things better."
