Socceroos Abroad: Souttar clean sheet, Socceroos face off in Scotland

There were plenty of wins for our Subway Socceroos across Europe during the week, with Harry Souttar contributing once again to Sheffield United's excellent defensive record.

Coming up this weekend, there are several important matches across the globe for our Aussies abroad, including some of them going head-to-head in Scotland's top flight.

Subway Socceroos

In the EFL Championship, Harry Souttar (cap #606) completed the full 90 minutes and helped Sheffield United keep a clean sheet as they beat Millwall 1-0 on Thursday morning. That's six clean sheets in the last eight games for the Subway Socceroo defender now for a Sheffied United side who have only conceded 11 goals all season.

Souttar, a towering presence in the air, also boasts the highest aerial duel win percentage in the league (81.3%).

Souttar should start again on Sunday at 2:00 am (AEDT) when United host Plymouth Argyle. Souttar's side remain top of the table, a point above Leeds United.
