Video: Ally McCoist offers bizarre but unequivocal backing for Billy Gilmour Scotland call up

It’s a strange time to be a Scotland fan, there’s still an outside chance of qualifying for a major tournament and a youngster looks like one of the best players for a huge team in the Premier League.

Billy Gilmour has been spoken about for a while as a tremendous talent, and he’s impressed every time he’s played for Chelsea. That means it was inevitable that questions would be asked about a full Scotland call up.

Ally McCoist offered this opinion as part of his punditry for BT Sport:

Usually you would get a more reluctant or less emphatic response, but it shows the faith that McCoist has in his ability.

There’s a big Euro 2020 play off with Israel coming up, and it would be great to see him play to see just how good he is.
