When asked about the possibility of switching allegiances, Barnes stated that it's "not something I've really spoken about or put thought into recently." He acknowledged that there have been discussions about the topic in the past, but it hasn't been a recent concern.

Barnes expressed his support for Scotland, saying it was "great to see them win and get through" their recent game. He also noted that the eligibility to play for Scotland is still an option, making it difficult to rule out a potential switch.
