Sunderland star Ross Stewart backed to have 'big future' with Scotland amid Nations League success

Former England international forward Tony Cottee believes Sunderland marksman Ross Stewart could have a "big future" with the Scotland national team.

Stewart has played twice for Scotland but missed their latest batch of internationals due to a muscle thigh injury. The 26-year-old sustained his injury during the warm-up ahead of Sunderland's defeat against Middlesbrough at the Riverside Stadium earlier this month.

The Scot was subsequently ruled out for six to eight weeks but Cottee has backed Stewart to make the step-up once he returns from his spell on the sidelines.
