Chicago Fire keeper Chris Brady has revealed he's determined to play international football...as Scotland boss Steve Clarke eyes him up for a shock call-up.
The 20-year-old is eligible to play for Scotland and reports last month suggested the SFA had reached out to him to discover where he would be interested in representing Steve Clarke's side.
He was capped three times for the USA Under 23s in the build-up to last year's Olympics, but didn't make the American squad.
Scotland are having to rely on 42-year-old Hearts keeper Craig Gordon and Angus Gunn, with the Norwich City keeper having his season disrupted by injuries.

And Brady has admitted he would love to show his talents on the international stage, ahead of Scotland's Nations League relegation play-ofs with Greece later this month.
He said: "I just want to make a name for myself. I think that's something that I haven't been able to do quite yet on the most senior national team level.
"So I would say, going forward, that's something that I'm kind of geared towards making an impact.
"It's extremely important to impress if you go to a national team camp and there's close to no time to work on training.
"You're in the hotel going over set pieces and how the game is going to look. And that's kind of the only time you get to be adaptable.
"But yes, I want to showcase what I can do on the international stage in 2025.
"My confidence in the role of being a goalkeeper for a team that plays on a stage like this has definitely grown. My adaptability has grown. I’m very open now, especially now, to new systems, new ideas, new coaches.
"My ability to take crosses, confidence in the box, in the air – I feel like I've grown quite a bit. And I feel more calm with the ball at my feet.
"And that's a big change when you compare the way I was playing a year or two ago, where I was so rushed when I had the ball at my feet, to where now everything's slowed down through my eyes.”
