Despite just making five league starts for the Rangers this season, Keith Jackson thinks Ryan Jack might be in line for a “shock” Scotland call-up.
The midfielder’s season has been marred by injuries thus far, but when healthy, he is one of the first names on Philippe Clement’s team sheet at Ibrox.
Jack, who already has 18 caps for his country, may give the Scotland team much-needed experience in the lead-up to the 2024 European Championships.
Jackson responded via Daily Record on Monday, March 11, page 39, to the question of whether he might anticipate any “shock” call-ups by Steve Clarke: “It will be fascinating to see if Clarke chooses to have a careful look at Craig Gordon given he hasn’t seen enough of him in a Hearts shirt since the keeper’s recovery.
“Now that Ryan Jack is back and ready for the Rangers, he falls into a similar category.”
Can Scotland, led by Ryan Jack of Rangers, get a spot at Euro 2024?
It might be a very tough decision given the abundance of Scottish talent now playing well in Europe, including Billy Gilmour, Stuart Armstrong, Scott McTominay, and John McGinn.
The national team will need its finest players when they play Germany, Hungary, and Switzerland in Group A of the tournament. They have been playing incredibly well lately.
Despite his limited number of league starts this season, Jack still has the rest of the season to prove himself, and Clement will be eager to see him return to the starting lineup.
After defeating Aberdeen 1-0 in December to win the Scottish League Cup, Rangers is now vying for more trophies, including the Scottish Premiership and Europa League titles.
The Gers’ season may yet be greatly impacted by the 32-year-old midfielder, who will face Benfica in the Europa League round of 16 on Thursday, March 14.
