Scotland manager Steve Clarke has shared text messages with Everton boss Frank Lampard about Nathan Patterson, with the young full-back struggling for minutes at Goodison Park.
Patterson joined the Toffees from Rangers in January and his arrival was greeted with plenty of excitement from supporters, as he had been earning rave reviews for his performances north of the border.
Despite his tender years, Patterson had established himself as a dependable option for Rangers and he is also a regular for Clarke's Scotland side. The 20-year-old has six senior appearances for his country and has already netted one goal.
