While the former Man Utd star, 41, starred for Scotland 80 times wore the captains armband on 16 occasions, his sons originally both decided to star for England.

That was until Tyler switched back to follow in his father’s footsteps in October 2023.

And it has led to the peculiar situation of both Tyler and Jack wearing the armband for different nations over the international break despite being twins.

Tyler wore the armband for a Scotland Under-19s clash against Poland on March 22.

The match was lost 4-1 by the Tartan Army.

Jack fared comparatively better two days earlier on March 20.

He captained the Three Lions Under-18 side to a 2-2 draw against Czechia.

This rare occurrence came days after Jack netted a brace for Man Utd Under-21s in a 5-1 win over West Brom, with both goals being assisted by Tyler.

Both have so far shown immense promise in the junior levels.
