Scott McKenna aims to prove Nottingham Forest fans right as he finally gets Scotland chance

Scott McKenna is hoping to get a chance to shine in the absence of Kieran Tierney as Scotland kick off their Nations League campaign.

The left-sided Nottingham Forest centre-back has been unable to play for the national team as often as he would like as he has been in competition with the highly-regarded Arsenal man, who is usually one of the first names on Steve Clarke’s team sheet. Despite this, Forest fans remain baffled by his lack of chances given his brilliant form for the Reds.

Leeds captain Liam Cooper got the nod to start the World Cup play-off defeat by Ukraine last week with Tierney out injured, and McKenna is hopeful he will see some game time over the next week as Scotland face Armenia home and away either side of a weekend trip to the Republic of Ireland.
