Rangers kid Leon King is already dreaming of flying the flag for Scotland.
But the Light Blues teen knows he’ll have to find a way to split up the Ibrox union of Connor Goldson and Ben Davies if he’s to force his way into Steve Clarke’s plans. Gers boss Michael Beale has decided Goldson and Davies are better together at the back for his side having started the pairing in 10 games straight before a calf complaint kept Goldson out of Sunday’s win over Partick Thistle.
But King is determined to change his manager’s mind – and hopefully catch Clarke’s eye while he’s at it. He said: “A call-up has got to be a realistic option for me but it’s up to me to force the manager here to play me in these games coming up. I’m only going to get a chance with the national team if I’m playing games here but I know it’s down to me to make the manager take that decision.”
