Football News: Scott’s not a Scot anymore

SCOTT McTOMINAY is 10-1 with McBookie to make England's World Cup squad after U-turning on his decision to play for Scotland.

The Man United midfielder accepted an invite by Alex McLeish to win his first cap in the Hampden defeat to Costa Rica.

United's English-born hot prospect pulled out of last week's victory in Hungary and returned to Old Trafford for treatment on a broken fingernail.

It's believed he was spooked by playing in the same team as Grant Hanley and as it was a friendly he can still change nations.

England boss Gareth Southgate has agreed to reprieve him on two conditions: 1. He changes his name and 2. He gets a David Beckham tattoo on his arse.

McBookie now go 10-1 Nigel Autonomy makes England's squad for Russia.

Automony's decision is a huge blow to McLeish who branded him a bit of a fool.

Insiders claim Automony's decision was made during his Scotland initiation ceremony at their Oriam training HG.

The Man United kid was ordered to sing “Jimmy Where's Your Troosers” while gurgling Barr's Irn-Bru. He got a right shock when Celtic's James Forrest appeared with his shorts at his ankles and he spat his drink all over Big Eck.

Autonomy's dad Frank is gutted at his boy's decision and insisted he'll try to make him more Scottish to stop him making his England bow.

He said: “I'd be a fool to let him play for England. He's a Scott and I'm making plans for Nigel.

“This will involve swapping warm beer for ice-cold Tennent's, eating haggis pies twice a week and listening to 500 Miles on his headphones 24/7. That should do it – proclaim my boy English and I'll lamp you one.”
