Nathan Patterson has admitted that he hopes everyone - including Everton manager Frank Lampard - “was watching” his performance for Scotland against Poland on Thursday night.
The 20-year-old started at right wingback for his country as Steve Clarke’s side earned a 1-1 draw at Hampden Park. Despite being denied victory through an added time equaliser, Patterson certainly produced an impressive display before being substituted on 67 minutes.
Since his move from Rangers in January, the defender’s sole start for Everton came against Boreham Wood in the FA Cup. Even then, he was subject to a tactical switch and replaced at half-time . The Scotland international will be hoping to have shown enough with Scotland to persuade Lampard to rely on him more at club level , as Patterson is aware he still has a point to prove.
