Oliver Burke wins place back in senior Scotland squad
0 Have your say Oliver Burke’s career renaissance continued when he was recalled to the Scotland senior squad after a two-year absence.

Oliver Burke on double joy of Scotland recall and bookie bashing at Cheltenham
Oliver Burke was at Cheltenham with his Celtic team-mates when word came through he was already on to a winner. James Forrest was first past the post with the news of Burke’s dream recall to the Scotland squad for the forthcoming Euro 2020 qualifiers in Kazakhstan and San Marino. And with Steven Fletcher ruled out he looks hot favourite to lead the line for his country just a year and a half since he was banished to the Under-21s for failing to make the grade among the senior squad. That he is now back among the big boys is testament to his decision to take a punt on Scottish football in January, swapping the Championship for a loan stint at Celtic. Not a huge gamble when the alternative is to remain wasting away on the bench at West Brom but you’d still have got long odds on the move turning out quite like this.

Liam Palmer stopped Chelsea star Willian and he’ll be Scotland star as well
Lee Bullen insists Liam Palmer won’t be fazed if he’s handed a Scotland debut – after watching the full-back hold his own against Chelsea’s £30million man Willian. Alex McLeish has handed the Sheffield Wednesday ace his first call-up to the full squad for the Euro 2020 qualifying double header against Kazakhstan and San Marino. And Palmer could be in for a debut with Callum Paterson, who played right-back in the Nations League games against Albania and Israel, sitting out the first game in Astana due to the artificial pitch. Bullen was a player at Hillsborough when he first became aware of Palmer who was just a nine-year-old on the books at the Owls. And when the former Dunfermline and Falkirk stopper returned to Yorkshire as a coach Palmer – whose grandmother was born in Carluke – had grown into a player on the verge of the first team. Bullen has since seen him become the club’s Player of the Year and now hopes the … [Read more...] about Liam Palmer stopped Chelsea star Willian and he’ll be Scotland star as well
