England Under-21s would beat Scotland’s first XI, says Simon Jordan who claims Man United teen Mason Greenwood is ‘better than anything Scotland have’

Simon Jordan has trolled talkSPORT host Jim White and his beloved Scotland, saying their first XI aren’t good enough to beat England’s Under-21s team.

He even said Manchester United starlet Mason Greenwood – recently called up to the Young Lions senior team – is ‘better than anything’ in Scotland’s entire team.

Che Adams has seven goals and four assists for Southampton this season and has been rewarded with a call-up to the Scotland side

The duo brought fans the news on Tuesday afternoon that Southampton striker Che Adams had been called up to the Scotland squad for the first time.

The 24-year-old was born in Leicester and represented the Three Lions at Under-20s level, but he was wanted by Scotland ahead of this summer’s European Championship.

And he has answered manager Steve Clarke’s call, with the English-born attacker named in the squad for upcoming World Cup qualifiers against Austria, Israel and Faroe Islands.

But Jim’s announcement of the news live on air was met with multiple scoffs from his esteemed colleague Jordan, who claimed Adams is only opting to play for Scotland as he’s not good enough to get in the England team.

But don’t worry Tartan Army, he insisted he’s not being disrespectful to Scotland by saying that, he’s just telling the truth.

I wouldn’t go north of the border any time soon, Simon…

Jordan is not a fan of Scottish football

“It’s good news for Scotland, yeah, but an opportunity for him to come to his senses will soon arrive, I suspect,” the outspoken talkSPORT pundit said on Tuesday’s White and Jordan show.

“What are you thinking? Do you really want to be part of that debacle of Scotland at the Euros?!

“He’s thinking, ‘where am I guaranteed to play because the quality is so low that I’ll get in every time the squad is picked’?

“I’m not disrespectful about Scotland, I’m honest. I’ve said before that England Under-21s could beat Scotland’s first team, and I don’t climb down from that.

“Look at the quality of our U21s, I think that is genuinely true.

“Mason Greenwood is better than anything you’ve got in your first XI, better than anything in the Scotland team!”
