James Penrice sent Scotland call-up hope as red-hot Rangers star told the rules of Pocognoli

Scotland manager Sebastien Pocognoli has stated that the door remains open for James Penrice to earn a national team call-up despite leaving him out of the latest squad. The 27-year-old left-back has impressed while playing for Rangers on a season-long loan from AEK Athens, notably featuring in consecutive Old Firm victories over Celtic.

Pocognoli opted against calling up Penrice for this month's opening Nations League fixtures, even after Kieran Tierney and Kenny McLean withdrew due to injury. However, the manager emphasized that he is tracking every candidate and affirmed that consistent performances will lead to future international opportunities.
