Rangers wonderkid Alexander Smith has been called up by Scotland and the USA.
The 16-year-old midfielder has been selected for international duty with both countries due to his dual-citizenship.
Smith, who recently signed a three-year professional deal at Rangers, has previously represented both nations in youth action.

The teenager has been included in Brian McLaughlin's squad for Scotland under-17 fixtures against Qatar and Croatia.
