Hearts’ English-born Driver Commits to Scotland

Friday, 5th February 2010

Hearts’ English-born Andrew Driver will represent Scotland as a full international, confirmed national manager Craig Levein. The young winger has been made eligible to play for Scotland despite being capped by the England U-21s because of a recently-agreed upon residency criteria.

"Andy Driver gave me the nod yesterday that he is dead keen," explained Levein. "I said ‘Do you want to go away and think about it?’ He said ‘No, my mind is made up, I want to play for Scotland’. We need to find out he meets the criteria exactly, that it’s five years schooling and not four years, 11 months and 26 days."

Having been Driver’s first ever manager at Hearts, Levein is held in special regard by the 22-year-old winger.
