Rangers striker Matthew Shiels has been handed a shock call-up to Jim Crawford's Ireland U18 squad.
Shiels previously represented Scotland at U16 and U17 level, but has been included in the Ireland squad for an upcoming invitational tournament in Spain where the Boys in Green will take on Belgium, the Netherlands and Czech Republic.
The 17-year-old was born in Scotland but is eligible to play for Ireland through his grandparents.
The Rangers striker tweeted that he was 'delighted to be picked for the Republic of Ireland'.
Even if Shiels lines out for the U18 side, he can still switch back to Scotland.
Mcat they're Celtic now Real Madrid mate. I'm pleased to see a local lad committed to his team and it is a massive club but pretty much any player down there is stepping up if they move to any Premier League side.Sadly he's too good for us now
The time to go in for him was last season. His next stop will be a top 6 side if he wants to come down here![]()

Top pundits?The desire within the Scottish sports media to keep the "natural order" in place is startling
Nothing would benefit Scottish Football more than to have more competition in the top league from teams outside the Old Firm. Aberdeen, Motherwell, Hibs and Hearts should all see more of their players picked for international duty. The fact that Boyd is banging on about players in lower leagues in England getting preference is symptomatic of why the Scottish national side is where it currently is. The attitude by "top" pundits is all wrong
I always think Steven Thompson comes across as an excellent pundit, neutral, informed and as articulate as a St Mirren fan can be...Top pundits?
Only two worth listening to are on sportscene imo
