Rangers star Ross McCrorie has been quoted as saying by The Scottish Sun that he wants to break into the Scotland senior side.

McCrorie, who can operate as a defender or as a midfielder, is one of the best young players at Rangers and in the Scottish Premiership.

The 20-year-old is a regular for the Scotland Under-21 international side, and the Rangers youngster has now set his sight on the senior tea.

The Rangers youngster has also suggested that he hopes to follow in the footsteps of John Souttar and Oliver McBurnie.

The Scottish Sun quotes McCrorie as saying: “You look at the start of the campaign, we had players like Oli McBurnie and John Souttar [playing for the Under-21s], and recently they have been breaking in [to the full team] so there is always a pathway for the boys. The Scotland manager is always watching you.”
