George Hirst eager for more Scotland caps despite loss

Scotland's recent match against Greece was disappointing, leading to anger and frustration among fans and players. The loss marked a significant setback as Scotland was relegated to Nations League B, overshadowing personal milestones like John McGinn earning his 75th cap. George Hirst made his debut for Scotland during this match. Despite the team's poor performance, he remains optimistic about his international career. Hirst, who has a Scottish grandfather, is eager to represent Scotland and hopes to earn more caps in the future. In recent years, Scotland has included several players born outside the country, like Che Adams and Lyndon Dykes, due to a lack of homegrown talent. Hirst, an English striker, has taken this unique opportunity to play for Scotland, adding another option for the team. Hirst expressed his delight at being called up, appreciating the warm welcome from teammates. He aims to improve his game at Ipswich Town and hopes his performance there will lead to more opportunities with the national team. Even though his father couldn't attend the match, Hirst believes he supported him from afar. He is committed to embracing this opportunity and looks forward to making a lasting impact with Scotland.
