Rookie Alex keeps it in the family

LIONESS MAYA OFFERS TIPS TO STEPBROTHER ON ENGLAND CALL-UP

- By JONATHAN VEAL

ALEX Scott is happy to lean on his stepsister Maya Le Tissier for advice as he enjoys a call-up to the senior England squad for the first time.

The Bournemouth midfielder has been called up to the England squad for the first time for tonight's qualifier against Serbia and then Albania next week after impressing for the Under-21s. If Scott does represent his country in either of the two games, it will become a family affair, with Le Tissier having won ten senior international caps and been part of the Lionesses’ European Championship-winning squad this summer.

The pair have a tight bond as they used to spend their childhood catching flights from Guernsey and even played in the same junior team on the Channel Island.
