Angus Gunn has been told he is well on the way to establishing himself as Scotland's No.1 goalkeeper. The Norwich shot-stopper kept two clean sheets for Steve Clarke's in-form side after committing his future to the country – and following in the footsteps of dad and City legend Bryan – before the international break.

Ad Scotland toppled Spain and Malta in their first two Euro 2024 qualifiers as fellow Canaries Grant Hanley and Kenny McLean also starred at Hampden Park.

Premier LeagueScholes 'surprised' by Lampard return but Cole says 'it makes perfect sense'24 MINUTES AGO Celtic legend Jackie McNamara, who earned 33 Scotland caps between 1996 and 2005, says Gunn still has work to do to cement his position ahead of Craig Gordon but his impressive performances can lay the foundations for a long-term international career.

The 49-year-old, who played over 250 games and won four league titles during a decorated decade at Parkhead, said: «His performances have been excellent – so the possibility is definitely there. »I don't know if that last camp was enough for Steve to come out and say Angus is his No.1 goalkeeper, but the prospect [of Gunn becoming No.1] is real. «I think we have got the best squad of players we have had for a long, long time. »The team is fairly young, they are growing together and Steve has got a real connection with them. «That is apparent by the improvement that we have seen in the team.
