Motherwell breakthrough targeted by youngster as he combines exams with Scotland duty

Lennon Miller is taking his exams while performing for Scotland - and next on his list is a chance at Motherwell.

The teenager - son of former Aberdeen striker Lee - is at the u17s Euro finals in Israel with Scotland.

They face their third game of the tournament against Sweden and if they are to qualify, they would need a shock combination of results.

Not only would the young Scots have to win, Portugal have to beat Denmark and a seven-goal goal difference needs overturned.

Miller is highly-rated in the Fir Park academy and has already trained with first-team boss Graham Alexander's team.

Speaking about his chances, the midfielder said: “It’s been good for me at Motherwell. I’m playing every week for the Under-18s. We’re high up in the league and playing some nice football.

“I’ve spoken to the manager and trained with the first team a few times. He’s looking to bring youth through so that’s a good thing for me."

Not only has Miller had Scotland to focus on, the 15-year-old has had his biology and history exams to focus on too.

He added to the Daily Record: “The exams were tough. I actually took my history exam on the morning of our second game. It’s a really strange experience doing your exams out here.

“I had to get up very early to do the exam. There’s a class at 5.30 every night and there’s a wee room where we went to study. You do your work then go back to training."
