Caley Thistle stopper Mark Brown has been called up to the Scotland 'B' Squad to face the Republic of Ireland in Dublin next Tuesday.
The 25 year old featured in the 'futures' match against Turkey at the Tulloch Caledonian Stadium last year but his consistent performances for the Caley Jags have obviously been noted and he now steps up to the 'B' level and hopefully he will get a chance to stake his claim for a spot in the full international squad.

for the Caley Jags have obviously been noted and he now steps up to the
'B' level and hopefully will get a chance to stake his claim for a
spot in the full international squad.
If selected, he will probably face a familiar opponent, as free scoring Arsenal youngster Anthony Stokes, currently on loan with Falkirk has been called up to the Republic Squad.
If Mark can progress from here to the full squad, he will become the first ICT player to earn full international honours for Scotland whilst playing for ICT.
Perhaps disappointing is the omission of other potential candidates in Craig Dargo, Ian Black and Grant Munro but Mark getting into the squad is a good start.
