Andrew Driver scored twice for Hearts during September
|
Hearts winger Andrew Driver picked up the SPL young player of the month award but admitted that he has no chance of another accolade - a Scotland cap.
The 19-year-old was born in England and must look there for further honours.
"I moved here when I was 11, so I've grown up in Scotland," said Driver, who scored in victories over Hearts and St Mirren during September.
"I even scored for the schoolboy side against England. I was eligible because I was at school here."
Driver had considered challenging the ruling but has admitted defeat.

Hearts have brought through a lot of players recently

"The British countries have an agreement where you're only allowed to play for a country if you've got blood relatives, so I've no chance," he told the Sunday Mail as he picked up his Clydesdale Bank award.
Oldham-born Driver praised the Hearts youth system, from which he graduated to the first team.
"Hearts have brought through a lot of players recently," he told the club website.

"They're also widening things by bringing young players in from abroad.
