Newcastle United's Elliot Anderson called into Scotland U21 squad after England appearance

Newcastle United midfielder Elliot Anderson has been called up by Scotland Under-21s months after playing for England Under-19s.

Anderson is in Scot Gemmill's squad for European qualifiers against Kazakhstan and Belgium on 12 and 16 November.

The Whitley Bay-born 18-year-old made two substitute appearances for the Newcastle first team in January and has recently returned from a hip injury.

He featured in a training-ground friendly for the English in March.

However, Anderson had previously represented Scotland up to under-18 level.

Gemmill has also called up Leeds United winger Stuart McKinstry and fellow 19-year-old Aaron Pressley, the forward who is on loan at AFC Wimbledon from Brentford.
