Fulham and former Aberdeen defender Jack Grimmer is on the brink of a Scotland call-up.

The 20-year-old has broken into the Fulham first-team squad this season, after leaving Pittodrie in 2012.

Scotland assistant boss and Gothenburg Great, Mark McGhee, is going to watch him on Wednesday against Nottingham Forest at Craven Cottage.

And the former Aberdeen FC manager believes Grimmer is playing himself into contention for the Scotland squad to face Northern Ireland and Gibraltar in March.

The Dark Blues take on the Ulstermen in a friendly before continuing their Euro 2016 qualifying campaign against Gibraltar. Both matches are at Hampden Park.

McGhee said: "On Wednesday night I am going to look at Jack Grimmer, who has now got himself into the Fulham team at right back, to see how he is doing.

"Grimmer is getting good reviews down the road and therefore deserve consideration.

"Now what he has to do is displace people who are already there."
