Watford Ace Anya To Face Off Against Effiong As Scotland Name Squad For WCQ

Watford star Ikechi Anya is poised to add to his international caps during the upcoming international break.

The versatile player has been named in Scotland’s 27-man roster for a World Cup qualifier against Malta at the National Stadium, Ta’Qali on Sunday 4th September.

Glasgow-born Anya has been invited by manager Gordon Strachan even though he has seen his first-team opportunities limited  in the new season, with only nine minutes of game time for the Hornets after two rounds in the Premier League.

The wing-back had been eligible to wear the colours of Romania and Nigeria before he played competitively for Scotland.

Meanwhile, Balzan FC star Alfred Effiong is in Malta’s 20-man party for the game against Scotland.
