Scotland manager Steve Clarke confirmed he will be looking to cap Elliot Anderson as soon as possible.

The Newcastle United starlet is one who both England and Scotland are fighting over.

Three Lions boss Gareth Southgate outlined his interest in Anderson this week as well.

Speaking with reporters, Clarke said: We like the player as well so Elliot will still have that choice to make.

When I come out of this camp I will look at what we have done, what we have had, what's occurred over this camp, we will do a debrief on it and then we will shape what we do from there."

Asked if his club teammate Harvey Barnes could play for Scotland, Clarke said: Probably the same comment, to think about that after.

We want the best players we can possibly get. If they are eligible for Scotland and they have a chance to play for us and they can improve the squad that I've got - which is not an easy thing to do

And I get all the story round it, because we are playing England you want to speak about Elliot, you want to speak about Harvey.

I quite like speaking about the boys I have got because they have put us in a really good position and they deserve a lot of credit for that."
