Northern Ireland boss Ian Baraclough is reportedly monitoring Charlie McCann's international future in the hope the Rangers teenager may opt to switch allegiance from the Republic.
McCann, who made his Light Blues debut in last month’s 3-0 Scottish Cup win over Annan Athletic, has represented the Republic of Ireland at underage level.
But the former Manchester United U23 midfielder, who hails from Coventry, is thought to have sneaked onto the radar of Baraclough who is considering adding more young blood to his squad.
