Motherwell midfielder Lennon Miller has opened up on his surprising Scotland call-up.
The teenager was included in Steve Clarke's senior squad for the UEFA Nations League A play-off against Greece this month.
Miller has been in fine fettle for Motherwell since he established himself as a first-team regular, earning widespread plaudits for his performances.
No accolade is more prestigious than receiving a senior international call-up at just 18 years of age, however: "To be honest, it was an unexpected moment," he said (Sky Sports).

"I thought [under] 21s was what I was going to. Obviously, I found out after training. It was a surreal moment. It probably helped that I didn't expect it.
"I don't really think it has sunk in yet."
Miller has played with several Scotland age groups ranging from under 16s to under 21s. While getting photos with a saltire for official club media, he thought he was getting selected for the latter once again: "I was getting pictures with my Scotland flag expecting to be in the [under] 21s squad," he said.
"I just had that in my head. Obviously I trained on Tuesday and found out I was in the squad with no hints beforehand.
"It's a proud moment to get in the A squad so young, but I'm just trying to take it in my stride.
"[The family] was emotional. But they're proud, and they're looking to get to the games."
Miller was called up alongside fellow teenager James Wilson. The 17-year-old has bagged six goals and two assists for Heart of Midlothian this season and was deemed good enough by Steve Clarke to make the senior grade.
