Angus Gunn: Why have Scotland turned to Norwich City's goalkeeper and who is he?

Steve Clarke pulled a rabbit out the hat as he sprung a rare surprise in his squad selection ahead of Scotland's Euro 2024 qualifying campaign.

Faced with having to do without 74-cap stalwart Craig Gordon after the 40-year-old picked up a season-ending injury, the head coach has brought Angus Gunn into the firing line by persuading the Norwich City goalkeeper to turn his back on England and join up with the land of his father.

So who is Angus Gunn and why is the 27-year-old's Scotland call-up controversial for some?
