Scotland manager Steve Clarke hopes to see Everton defender Nathan Patterson break his way into Frank Lampard 's first team after struggling for minutes and starts since arriving from Rangers in January.

Patterson has only featured for the Toffees once, a 2-0 win over non-league side Boreham Wood in the FA Cup in January. But he only lasted 45 minutes and has not played for the first-team since.

Clarke that he has spoken to Everton boss Lampard about reintroducing the 20-year-old into the first-team fold but understands that with Premier League survival on the line, it's difficult to integrate a youngster into a team that is battling to stay in England's top-flight.

The former West Brom manager also said Patterson has a huge obstacle to overcome in club captain Seamus Coleman also being a right back and the experience he brings in the situation the Blues find themselves in.

“He’s had almost nothing in terms of game time,"
