Scot now an Aussie joins Aussie football squad
Just caught the back end of a sports report where they were saying that a Scot who'd just took out Australian citizenship has been selected to the Australian Football squad. Sorry, unsure of the first name, but I'm pretty sure the surname was Doyle.

Martin Boyle scored twice the other night for the Socceroos in their 3-0 win against Lebanon in a friendly. Tim Cahill came on in the last ten minutes to mark the end of his international career.
Boyle's dad was born in Australia so Martin qualifies to play for Australia even though he only set foot here for the first time I believe just a couple of weeks ago - he looks very good.

Only last week or so Tom Rogic was out for 3 weeks due to injury (hamstring?) and now it appears he's sufficiently fit to fly to Brisbane for a friendly?

Re: Scot now an Aussie joins Aussie football squad
brian f, I'm no' exactly sure what you mean by that.
If Hibernian - especially Aussie Martin Boyle - play as well in the final against Celtic as they did yesterday though, then we're in for a cracker of a match, I'm sure you'll agree.
