On 7 September 2010, he came off the bench in a UEFA Under-21 Championship qualifier against Austria, providing the assist as Chris Maguire scored an 89th minute goal to take Scotland to the play-offs. In May 2011, Craig Levein called him into his squad for the inaugural Carling Nations Cup. He made his senior debut on 29 May against the Republic of Ireland, in the final match of the tournament.
