Billy Gilmour is closing in on a landmark 50th Scotland cap, and the midfielder says he's relishing his evolving role under new head coach Sebastien Pocognoli after playing a key part in the Belgian's first win in charge, according to BBC News.
Gilmour, known for his composure in midfield, has embraced whatever responsibilities Pocognoli has asked of him since the former Union SG boss took over the national team. The report notes his contribution was central to Scotland securing that opening victory, with Gilmour expressing happiness at the direction the squad is heading.
Reaching half a century of international appearances would mark a significant milestone for the Napoli man, who has become an established figure in the Scotland setup despite injury setbacks earlier in his career. BBC News suggests Gilmour remains grounded about his achievements, focusing instead on continuing to deliver for his country as Pocognoli builds his own identity as head coach heading into the upcoming fixtures.
