Scotland To Offer Carroll Full Cap!
Scotland boss Craig Levein is refusing to give up in his bid to persuade Newcastle ace Andy Carroll to play for the Tartan Army. Stuart Pearce has made two recent visits to Tyneside to urge England under-21 star Carroll to wait for a senior call-up. But Levein is willing to hand him a start for Scotland as soon as possible. Craig Levein: “I am tenacious when it comes to these things. “We will wait and see what happens. “I can understand the lad’s position. He has been involved in the England set-up and it is quite right he wants to see out his time in the under-21s. I can understand that. “However, it is about playing international matches and gaining caps. “If the door does close on him for the first-team level at England, then we will pursue it.”
