Ryan Porteous is determined to force his way back into the Scotland squad for this summer's World Cup in the USA. The 26-year-old centre-back, currently playing for Los Angeles FC in Major League Soccer, has not featured for his country since being sent off in Scotland's Euro 2024 opener against Germany. Porteous believes his MLS experience, playing alongside stars like Heung-Min Son and Hugo Lloris, could be a significant advantage. 'I think I'll be used to the heat,' he stated. 'Playing against top players like Messi and Suarez could bring out my A-game.' Porteous also praised Scotland manager Steve Clarke, crediting him with finding winning ways despite his own recent absence.
