Rangers-related Tommy Conway, a striker for Bristol City, was likely more focused on a Spanish beach than a German arena this summer.
After leading his team to a mid-table finish in the Championship the previous season, the 12-goal striker may have been seeking for some well-earned rest and relaxation.
However, it is your responsibility to respond when your country calls, and the Scotland U21 international has recently received a surprise call-up to the national team’s preliminary Euro 2024 roster.
Even though the situation is not ideal, Scotland will want to find the same kind of finishing touch that allowed Tommy Conway to defeat West Ham in the FA Cup this year.
Conway gets an injury call for Scotland Fans of the Rangers may recall Tommy Conway’s early season links to the team.
Premier League teams and even Old Firm rivals Celtic were thought to have taken notice of the Robins forward’s form at Ibrox in January.
The connections to Conway guarantee that an Ibrox watch will be kept on his growth even though Rangers appear to be leaving the English Football League market, a world of exorbitant transfer costs and wages.
Now, with injury decimating the Tartan Army’s forward line, Steve Clarke has decided to call Tommy Conway up to his Scotland team.
The appeal for Conway comes after Ben Doaks, a talented forward from Liverpool, withdrew from the competition due to an injury, while Australian-born target man Lyndon Dykes is also officially out of the competition.
Conway will strengthen the team after a shaky 2-0 victory over lowly Gibraltar failed to calm fears.
Hearts talisman Lawrence Shankland and Southampton forward Che Adams are still among Scotland’s players.
However, there is now opportunity for a new hero to be born in Germany, with Lyndon Dykes remaining very much the preferred focus point.
Rangers could have two Scotland Euro 2024 stars
Rangers only have one official representative at Euro 2024 with Scotland.
center-back The only player carrying the Ibrox flag officially is John Souttar, the defender who was absent from the tight win in Portugal.
Due to injuries, there weren’t many options at right-back for Tommy Conway, thus Ross McCrorie, an ex-Gers academy product and Bristol City teammate, also began the game there.
Billy Gilmour, a former academy standout, and former Rangers goalkeeper Liam Kelly, who has been linked to a return to the team, are other members of the squad.
Despite not having kicked a ball for the team since February, Ryan Jack, who was recently released by Rangers, is also a member of the squad and even started the match against Gibraltar off the bench.
