COULD Jordan Rhodes be in line for an Olympic Games call-up?

That’s the obvious conclusion after Team GB coach Stuart Pearce took in the Town man’s five-goal scoring spree at Wycombe.

Pearce, of course, is also in charge of the England Under 21 team.

And technically, hot shot Rhodes, who today aims to add to his 27-goal club tally against Oldham, the town of his birth, could switch allegiance because he has yet to play a competitive full international for Scotland (that can’t happen until September, when their World Cup 2014 qualification campaign begins with a double header against Serbia and Macedonia).

But Town manager Lee Clark says there is no way Rhodes, who had scored six goals in as many appearances for the Under 21s and made his full debut in the 2-1 friendly win in Cyprus in November, becoming Town’s first Scotland cap since Denis Law in the Fifties, would abandon the dark blue shirt.

And sources North of the border suggest Scotland boss Craig Levein, who took in Town’s 1-1 home draw with Carlisle last month, is relaxed over the situation.

While remaining concerned about their sovereign status within FIFA, Scottish Football Association chiefs have also backtracked on previous instructions that their internationals should not play for a combined Great Britain side.

That paves the way for Rhodes to stake a claim for Olympic involvement in London this summer.

He certainly ticks plenty of boxes, being 23 or under this month (he turns 22 on February 5), having experience on the international stage, and of course, being bang in form.

“Jordan isn’t just one of the best young striker around at the moment, he’s one of the best full stop,” said Clark.
