Scotland manager Craig Levein has tracked Andy Carroll for some time, trying to turn our Geordie boy into a skirt-wearing Jocko. Now he´s after ... wait for it ... SHOLA AMEOBI The Nigerian-born striker has represented England Under-21s and holds a British passport, but has never played a competitive game for England. Levein: "I tried to get Shola Ameobi at Newcastle a while back "He has not played for England yet, though he has lived in the UK and had a British passport. "So I thought he might be available to play for Scotland. But we have changed the rules. "The Home Associations rule is clear. It changed a year ago. You have to be educated in Scotland for five years and it fell down as Shola had not been."
