Nathan Patterson has spoken of his joy at being back playing football after impressing in Scotland’s draw with Poland on Thursday night.
The right-back was the subject of two failed bids from Everton in the summer as they sought to bring in competition for Seamus Coleman. But after months of speculation, a deal between all parties was finally reached just days after the January transfer window opened.
However, the defender has found first-team opportunities hard to come by since his arrival at Goodison Park. He has started just once for Frank Lampard’s side against Boreham Wood in the FA Cup.
