Can anyone clear this up for me and I'm only using this as an example. If we were to sign Harry Souttar would he be classed as a homegrown player being born and bred in Scotland or would he be classed as foreign due to choosing to play for Australia probably similar to Arfield choosing to represent Canada was he classed as home grown or foreign?

Harry Souttar 100% home grown


Scotty Arfield was also classed as home down


The rule is three years at Scottish academy absolutely nothing to do with nationality
That’s why we r striving to bring through likes mcausland munn burnside yefeko Nsio stevens Lovelace gentles et al

Hope that makes sense aye ready.

Aye ready. he will be classed as a homegrown talent regardless of his country he chose to represent.

As long as he trained in the nation from 15-21. he spent just under 4 years between Dundee utd and loans around scottish clubs so qualify as home grown.

Tom, I believe we spoke to him last summer, not sure what's happening this window. I think he'd be an excellent signing.

Tom we wanted him on loan if Davies left, we could not afford to buy him circa ten mill.

Be a loan if we did go back in for him but Leicester will end up dropping the price drastically, they are losing money every week without a return, not as if he is a young player like Silva improving and getting experience with a couple of years of loans, they probably let him go in summer when spending spreee starts for their EPL return.

It’s only a matter of time before someone challenges this ruling though as ageist against guys that started career later

Also the Scottish trained thing will change eventually to include people that are registered as Scottish players.

Only an opinion before people get knickers in a twist.
