SHIEL WILL KEEP IT IN THE FAMILY

- BY DAVID KELSO

CHARLIE SHIEL is set to follow in the footsteps of his dad and grandfathe­r by becoming a Scotland star.

The rookie scrum-half could make a shock Test debut after Ali Price was ruled out of the final two Americas tour matches.

Glasgow star Price suffered groin damage during last weekend’s convincing victory over Canada in Edmonton.

Now Shiel – son of World Cup ace Graham and grandson of Lions No.9 Dougie Morgan – is in line to be listed as a sub to face the USA in Houston on Saturday.

Shiel, who has just clinched a deal to join Edinburgh, answered boss Gregor Townsend’s SOS after his first appearance for the sevens in Paris.

Gunners winger Dougie Fife has also linked up with the squad to replace crocked Glasgow speed merchant Lee Jones.
