Celtic Academy graduate Calvin Miller eyes Scotland World Cup place
Celtic academy graduate Calvin Miller remains determined to break into the Scotland national team setup with the World Cup just around the corner…
The 28-year-old has enjoyed a seriously impressive campaign under John McGlynn, playing a key role in Falkirk’s return to the Premiership.
Miller could be up for individual awards after a stunning season with the Bairns, registering eight goals across all competitions while also providing 11 assists.
His performances have been instrumental in guiding Falkirk to a surprising top-six finish, exceeding expectations for a newly promoted side. However, his form did not earn him a place in Clarke’s most recent squad announcement.
Despite that setback, the former Hoops winger has not ruled out his chances of representing his country and continues to push for international recognition.
Speaking via Daily Record, Miller said: “No, of course not [giving up on a call-up], you never do. A few people have spoken about me being called up, but I feel like Steve Clarke has had his squad, and now, because I’m doing well, my name’s getting mentioned. I’ve not really seen myself as a part of that or anything, so I’m not thinking about that too much.
“I’m just trying, on a personal level and collectively with Falkirk, to do as well as possible and see what happens. Are these final five games of the season playing against the best in the league a platform for you to show what you can do?
“Well, that’s exactly what the gaffer said to me before Sunday’s game against Rangers. These are the big games that you want to go and produce and showcase your talent. I want to finish the season as strong as possible.”

Miller brought his time at Celtic to an end in 2020, making the switch to English outfit Harrogate Town before later joining Chesterfield.
The winger returned north of the border in 2023 with a move to Morton, and subsequently signed for Falkirk later that same year.
