MELBOURNE (Reuters) - With his brother having earned three caps for Scotland, Harry Souttar's decision to play for Australia raised eyebrows in his homeland but is paying dividends for the Socceroos as they plot their route to the World Cup in Qatar.

The towering Stoke City centre back nodded in his sixth goal in five internationals on Tuesday, securing a 1-0 win over Jordan in Kuwait City that gave Australia eight successive victories in World Cup qualifying for the first time.
