Bristol City striker Tommy Conway is determined to force his way into the Scotland squad after his FA Cup heroics against West Ham.
The 21-year-old - who has played for the Scotland under-21 side - scored the only goal as Championship side City dumped Premier League West Ham out of the cup competition.
And Conway - eligible for Scotland through a grandparent - is confident he has the ability to challenge those currently in Steve Clarke's squad with Euro 2024 approaching.
🏴 "I don't see why I can't be challenging those boys who have been called up before..."

Asked if a spot in the Euro 24 squad for Scotland is a reasonable target, Conway stated: "Yeah. I don't see why not.
"Obviously, there is competition in my position but I don't see why I can't be challenging those boys who have been called up before.
"It will be an interesting one but like I said, I can only get there if I am performing well for my club so that is my main focus at the minute."

And on the difference in quality between the Premier League and second tier in England, Conway told Sky Sports: "In the two games I have played I haven't seen a massive difference between Championship and Premier League coming up against those defenders."
Taunton-born Conway has played 22 times for Bristol City this season, scoring eight goals. The striker has scored once for Scotland under-21s in five outings for his country.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
