Stephen Kingsley's Scotland omission mystifies me as Hearts ace is better than Greg Taylor - Ryan Stevenson

Mikel Arteta can’t believe Ben White has been snubbed for an England call-up because he’s so comfy at both full back and centre back.

Listening to the Arsenal boss earlier in the week he might as well have been talking about Stephen Kingsley and Scotland. For the life of me I can’t understand why the Hearts defender isn’t preparing to take on Ukraine at Hampden this evening.

Especially since Grant Hanley has pulled out of the original squad injured. Stephen can play centre half or left back equally well and that versatility is huge at international level.

He is quick, strong and never seems to be in bother because of the way he reads the game. He was outstanding again in Sunday’s win at Motherwell.
