Ryan Porteous seeks to revive Scotland career following LA experience

Ryan Porteous, currently with Los Angeles FC, has been recalled to the Scotland national team ahead of their match against North Macedonia. The defender's last cap came in March 2025, and he credits his consistent performances this season in MLS for the opportunity. Porteous has played 52 matches for LAFC since joining in August 2025 and aims to establish himself once again in the Scotland setup under manager Sebastien Pocognoli, who is looking for replacements following Stephen Welsh's injury. His journey from Dalkeith to Los Angeles has been significant both on and off the pitch.
