Ryan Porteous earns Scotland recall following MLS move to Los Angeles

Ryan Porteous has completed a career journey from his beginnings in Dalkeith and playing for Hibernian and Watford, to making 52 appearances for Los Angeles in Major League Soccer. He admits the extensive travel across the United States initially caught him off guard, but he has enjoyed a consistent run of form and regular matches against high-level opponents. Following an injury to Swansea City's Stephen Welsh, Porteous received a recall to the Scotland national team from manager Sebastien Pocognoli. His last appearance for his country came in March 2025 against Greece, and he is now determined to secure a regular place in the squad moving forward.
