QPR from Livingston, was born on Australia's Gold Coast to parents from Dumfries. Speculation over which nation he would choose has been rife for months amid strong interest from both.

But now he's been given a first call-up by Steve Clarke for the Nations League double-header at home to Israel and away to the Czech Republic.

Dykes, who came to Scotland four years ago to join Queen of the South, said: "Scotland gave me my chance for my career. "I have only played professional four or five years but without Scotland, God knows where I would have been."Obviously I wanted to give something back to Scotland.

When I am here I feel like I am at home."My parents are Scottish, my family is Scottish, my little boy was born in Scotland.

Scotland 1 Israel 0 I expect this to be a tight contest.Most games we've seen behind closed doors have had a real training-game feel about them and Scotland's first appearance without the Hampden roar could make for a tepid affair.Israel have lost their last two outings, against North Macedonia and Poland, while we are on a three-game winning run under Steve Clarke and I expect us to extend that, but only just.I can't see us keeping a clean sheet - we haven't done so since November 2018 away to Albania when you exclude the absolute gimmes against San Marino - so there might be some nervy moments.But I think the attacking threat in midfield from in-form stars like James Forrest and Ryan Christie will give us enough to get past the visitors,
