Scotland new boy Lee Wallace would love to translate his left-sided partnership with Andrew Driver on to the international stage.

Full-back Wallace, 22, earned his first cap in Saturday's friendly in Japan and - despite a 2-0 defeat - relished every minute of the experience.

He could soon be joined in the squad by Hearts team-mate Driver, 21, who is now able to represent Scotland after FIFA ratified a change to their eligibility criteria.

The controversial relaxation of the rules allows British passport holders to represent any of the home nations, provided they have attended school in that country for five years.

Former Scotland schoolboy international Driver was born in Oldham before moving to North Berwick aged 11.

The rule change has put the winger under pressure to switch his allegiance from England, who he represented at under-21 level this summer.

Wallace told Hearts.TV: "Of course, it would be good to see him in the same Scotland squad as me - obviously if I was involved.

"It would be nice to see, nice for him personally as well.

"With all the drama and everyone's opinions on what he should be doing, at the end of the day it's his decision.

"So whether or not it comes about, we'll have to wait and see."

Despite previously stating he would jump at the chance to represent Scotland at senior level, Driver has been non-committal over his international future since the rule change.

That is despite Scotland boss George Burley telling the player he must make the first move if he wants to be considered for selection.

Wallace would welcome that outcome, but is refusing to add to the mounting pressure on Driver to clarify his position, advising his team-mate to focus on doing well for Hearts.

Wallace said: "He's just getting on with things, just getting his head down.

"I've only seen him just today.

"This is what I've said: 'Just keep your head down, keep playing well here, and you never know what's round the corner'."

Rangers captain David Weir, whose own 12-year Scotland career appears to be at an end, believes Burley cannot afford to ignore Driver.

The 39-year-old defender told Rangers TV: "There are a lot of lads, I think, in Portugal, Brazil and Spain, and countries like that, who are using these rules and making the most of them and making their teams better.

"We've got to look at that and catch up with them to a certain degree.

"I don't think we're in a position where we can be pig headed about it."

He added: "I think it all comes down to the lad, whether the lad wants to play for Scotland.

"If he wants to play for Scotland and he feels like he is Scottish and the rules are there that enable him to do that then I think we've got to look at it.

"Until you know what the lad really feels, I don't think it becomes that big an issue."
