St Johnstone defender James Brown has made his debut for Malta.
The former Millwall full-back was first called up for the Maltese national team last year but injuries prevented him from being capped.
The 24-year-old, who finished the season on a high with a string of excellent performances on the left side of Saints’ defence, was back on the right in the friendly against Venezuela.
And, as with his club side, he had a central defensive three inside him.

Brown played the full 90 minutes and Malta only losing 1-0, with Everton’s Salomon Rondon scoring the first half goal, was a creditable result.
The matches will now become more winnable – two Nations League encounters against San Marino, with a home game against Estonia in the middle.
Brown is eligible to play for Malta through his grandfather.
