Barnes not ruling out Scotland call-up

Newcastle winger Harvey Barnes has not ruled out switching international allegiance to play for Scotland.

Burnley-born Barnes, 27, has been capped once for England - in a friendly against Wales in 2020 - but remains eligible to represent Scotland through his maternal grandparents.

Scotland's 4-2 win over Denmark on Tuesday night ended their 28-year absence from the men's World Cup finals and Barnes remains open to the prospect of turning out for Steve Clarke's side, but insists there have been no talks.

Asked if the door has closed on potentially playing for Scotland, Barnes told Sky Sports: "No, of course it's not. I've obviously played for England, I know the eligibility side is still there.

"So it's hard to say either way. But like I said, there's been no real chats or any sort of progression in that sense.

"It's not something I've really put too much thought into.

"There's always been the sort of talk about it. Especially recently, it's not really something that's been on my mind, nothing that's really been spoke about.

"It was great seeing them get through [to the World Cup] and it was a crazy game."
