Nathan Patterson has handed Scotland a major boost ahead of next month's Euro qualifiers by stepping up his injury return.
The former Rangers star played 64 minutes for the Everton Under-21s as they drew with Tottenham Hotspur. The youngster lasted the planned hour of action as he bids to build up his fitness and help Sean Dyche's men secure their English Premier League status. Steve Clarke is also due to name his Scotland squad to face Cyprus and Spain in the coming weeks and seeing the full-back back will come as a major welcome to both the national team boss and the Tartan Army.
The 21-year-old was also delighted to get back on the pitch as he shared a picture of himself in action in his Instagram stories with the caption: "Good to get the hour, as planned, and blow away a few cobwebs."
