The teenage son of former Carlisle United striker Lee Miller has earned a full Scotland international call-up.

Motherwell star Lennon Miller is included in Steve Clarke's squad for Scotland's forthcoming UEFA Nations League play-off games against Greece.

Miller jnr, 18, is rewarded for a series of eyecatching performances in the Scottish Premiership.

The midfielder has been a rising star at Fir Park for some time, becoming Motherwell's youngest-ever player when making his debut at 16 years and six days in 2022.

Since then he has made 67 first-team appearances, scoring six goals.

He has been capped at various Scotland age-group levels up to Under-21s.

He will now target his senior bow in Scotland's Group A/B play-off double-header, with the first leg in Greece on Thursday, March 20 and the second leg at Hampden Park on Sunday, March 23.

Miller jnr, whose current Motherwell team-mates include Carlisle loanee Luke Armstrong and ex-Blues forward Luke Plange, is joined in the Scotland squad by fellow new call-up James Wilson, the Heart of Midlothian striker.

Lennon's father Lee played for Carlisle from 2011 to 2014, making 98 appearances and scoring 32 goals, the target man particularly pivotal in United's 2011/12 campaign when Greg Abbott's side narrowly missed out on the League One play-offs.

Lennon and his brothers were a familiar sight to United fans as their dad sometimes brought them onto the pitch for a kickabout during Lee's spell with the Blues.
