Che Adams: Scotland call came at 'right time' for Southampton striker

Che Adams dismissed suggestions he only wants to play for Scotland because of the Euro 2020 finals as he declared he is ready for international football.

The former England Under-20 striker joined up with his new Scotland team-mates on Sunday ahead of the start of the World Cup qualifiers.

The 24-year-old previously turned down an offer to switch allegiances in 2017.
