Hull’s Stewart is a tartan target

Published on Thursday 26 January 2012 02:05

Craig Levein is trying to convince Hull winger Cameron Stewart to opt to play for Scotland rather than England.

The Scotland manager is interested in recruiting the 20-year-old former Manchester United youth player, who has already represented England from under-17 to under-20 level.

But as Stewart’s mother is Scottish, Levin hopes to persuade him to make the switch.

Levein was reported as saying: “We have spoken to Cameron,”

“Mick Oliver [Scotland team scout] has done a lot of the work and we’re keeping an eye on him.

“There’s an ongoing dialogue. It’s just a matter of watching him and seeing how he’s doing.

“He has made us aware he’d be interested. Cameron’s playing regularly for Hull, but he had an injury when he was out for a long time.

“We’re just monitoring him right now, but he’s definitely one we know about.”

Stewart spent nine months on the sidelines with a cruciate knee injury before scoring on his return to action in Nick Barmby’s first game in charge of the Tigers.

He was named in a Scotland under-17 squad in 2008 but did not take up the offer.

Even though he has played for England, he could yet switch for either the Scotland under-21s or the senior squad.

Levein has done ok at finding English players to play for Scotland but Im afraid your top priority is to get Fletcher back in the squad. If you have tried and he doesnt want to then come out and say it.
