Barnes speaks out on Scotland switch as Newcastle star refuses to rule it out

Barnes was pushed hard on whether he'd be open to playing for Scotland - and sparked fresh optimism with his response

Harvey Barnes has revealed he could switch allegiances to Scotland if he fails to revive his one-cap England career.

“There’s been one or two conversations, but there’s not been too much detail into that. To be honest, I haven’t really brought it in as part of my thought process yet. It’s not really been a serious conversation, so it’s not something I’ve really thought too much on. But I know I am still eligible to play for Scotland.”

Then asked if he liked the sound of 'Harvey McBarnes', he laughed and said: “It’s something I haven’t really thought about. And I especially have been out of the picture for England for a while now, the main focus is to get back, first of all playing for Newcastle, and then see what happens.”
