Scott Arfield: Canada call was best decision for Scotland-born midfielder

Burnley midfielder Scott Arfield says electing to play for Canada rather than Scotland was the "best" decision.

Arfield, 28, represented Scotland at under-19 and under-21 level and also won a Scotland B cap.

However, he was not selected for the senior squad and won the first of his six Canada caps last year.

"I'm happy that I've taken this opportunity," said Arfield, who is in the Canada squad to face Scotland on Wednesday evening.

"You have a dream that you want to play for Scotland. As you get older, your career takes you in different places.
