Scotland U21 boss Scot Gemmill believes it is only a matter of time before Rangers midfielder Connor Barron makes the jump up into Steve Clarke’s senior international team.
The 22-year-old has started all three of Rangers’ opening Premiership games and has made a huge impression on the Ibrox faithful since joining from Scottish Premiership rivals Aberdeen in the summer.Many Gers fans felt the youngster was ready to make the jump into the Scotland team after a string of impressive performances, particularly following the retirement of Celtic star Callum McGregor. But for the time being, Barron remains in the U21 setup for upcoming games against Spain and Malta.Gemmill rates Barron highly and has handed him the captain’s armband on several occasions in the past at U21 level. He is more than familiar with his talents but expressed surprise at the youngster’s decision to remain in the Scottish Premiership after offers from overseas in the summer.
