In regards to the posts some of the guys have put up regarding how many Scottish players we need for euro squad I've alway wanted to know how it would count if you had guys that were born in 1 country but opted to play for another county would count for 8nstance Jordan Jones who's English but plays for NI if for sake of conversation he was Scottish who he count as a Scottish or as Northern Irish when it comes to quotas for squads ect.

I believe he is Irish. Arfield I understand is classed as Canadian. McLaughlin born England. Classed as Scotland
Look up Europa league rules. A great site that will answer your questions. I just don’t have time for now

Cheers John I'll check when I get a chance it was actually the likes of Arfield I was thinking about would he be classed as Scottish or Canadian didn't even think about the likes of McLaughlin though!

Arfield would be classed as Canadian but because he came through the youth system at Falkirk he would fit the criterion of one of the 4 places for players trained in another Scottish club.

Clubs have no obligation to put a certain number of homegrown players on the field of play, or on the matchsheet. They are entirely free in their team and matchday squad selection.

UEFA defines locally-trained or 'homegrown' players as those who, regardless of their nationality, have been trained by their club or by another club in the same national association for at least three years between the age of 15 and 21. Up to half of the locally-trained players must be from the club itself, with the others being either from the club itself or from other clubs in the same association.

Regardless of nationality its classed as assossiated trained players. ie teams from within your own country or homegrown youth trained players from within your youth set up. take Billy gilmour for instance, he's classed as home grown at Chelsea as he joined the youth set up at Chelsea even tho he's Scottish so its homegrown within your youth set up or from assossiated teams from your own countrys youth set up.
