Somalian teenager Islam Feruz sensationally has turned his back on Scotland – earning a sharp rebuke from the man whose rule change fast-tracked the former Celtic striker into the international game. Chelsea kid Feruz has been tipped for the top and, having featured for Scotland at Under-17 and Under-21 level, was to be a key player in the UEFA Under-19 elite round qualifiers starting in England tomorrow. But the 18-year-old, who hasn’t featured for his adopted nation since a 6-0 hammering by England Under-21s in Sheffield last August, withdrew with a mystery injury – despite starring in last week’s Under-21 Premier League Final win over Manchester United at Old Trafford.
