Connor Barron 'considered' for Scotland Euro 2024 squad as Steve Clarke weighs up wildcard picks

Aberdeen midfielder Connor Barron could be in for a surprise call-up to the Scotland squad.

Steve Clarke is set to announce his 26-man team for Euro 2024 next Wednesday, and it's believed that the young Don is being considered as an unexpected choice for Germany.

This comes after he made a strong impression during a disappointing season for the Dons, with Clarke's assistant John Carver having watched him play last Sunday when Peter Leven's team defeated Hibs 4-0.

The Scottish Sun suggests that Barron may have a chance of joining the team, and despite only making three appearances for Scot Gemmill's Under 21s, Barron could be quickly promoted to the first team.

The 21-year-old's contract at Pittodrie is due to expire soon, and he is expected to move to a new club. Record Sport has reported that Bologna is one of several Serie A clubs interested in Barron, reports the Daily Record.
