Aussie Ace Inman Gets Scots Call
Written by Newcastle Utd
Midfield starlet set to represent Scotland U19s on Wednesday

AUSTRALIAN-born midfielder Bradden Inman has indicated where his future international allegiances may lie after a call-up to the Scotland Under-19 squad.
Inman, eligible to represent Scotland because his mother was born there, is set to face France in Wednesday's International Challenge Match at the Pibarot Stadium in Clairefontaine.
The 17-year-old has made a big impression on Tyneside since joining the Academy at Under-15 level and was an unused substitute for United's senior side during last month's 2-1 defeat at Man City.
The ball-playing midfielder has earned the nickname "Kaka" among his Toon peers because of his skill and likeness in looks to the Brazilian superstar.
Inman could yet turn out for Australia as FIFA regulations state that a player is only committed to representing a country once they have appeared at Under-21 level.
