PARTICK THISTLE midfielder Ryan Edwards could be set to earn his first senior cap for Australia after being called up for the Socceroos' World Cup qualifiers.
The 23-year-old has represented his country at Under-20 and Under-23 level, but is yet to feature for the senior side.
Australia head coach Ange Postecoglou has called the Jags man into his 30-man squad for games against Iraq and the United Arab Emirates after a season in which he has been a regular performer for the Firhill club, making 34 appearances.
The Socceroos are currently unbeaten in Group B of the AFC Third Round, but sit behind Japan and Saudi Arabia in the six-team qualifying table after being held to a surprise draw by Thailand last time out.
Celtic's Tom Rogic has failed to make the squad through injury, but former Ross County midfielder Jackson Irvine is included.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
