Casement's Northern Ireland Lose - Ipswich Town News
Defender Chris Casement won a Northern Ireland B cap on Wednesday evening as his side lost 3-0 to Scotland in Clyde. Casement was winning his first cap at B level.
Scotland's goals were scored by Andy Webster of Rangers, Peterborough's George Boyd, who was recently watched by the Blues, and Livingston's Leigh Griffiths.
