Scotland manager Steve Clarke has shared his delight at the performance of Nathan Patterson in Thursday's friendly with Poland.
The Everton right-back was handed a start for his national side despite struggling for minutes on Merseyside and he was one of the standout players on the pitch in the 67 minutes he featured. The former Rangers man showed speed, dribbling skill and defensive appetite in his role on the right flank.
They are attributes those who frequent Goodison Park have not yet savoured to any great extent, with the youngster playing just 45 minutes of football since moving from Rangers in January. That despite the struggles of Seamus Coleman and Jonjoe Kenny in the full-back spots.
