George Hirst Joins Scotland Squad for Nations League Play-off

News summary

Scotland's assistant coach John Carver praised striker George Hirst for bringing a 'different dimension' to the national team as he joins the squad for the Nations League play-off against Greece after switching allegiance from England. Hirst, 26, was initially delayed from joining the squad due to paperwork issues but has recently been performing well, scoring four goals for Ipswich Town this season. Carver emphasized that Hirst's eagerness to play for Scotland, despite his English heritage, reflects the type of commitment the team needs. Alongside Hirst, the squad will also see the return of established players like Lewis Ferguson and Kieran Tierney, who have overcome injuries. The match against Greece will take place in Piraeus on March 20 and at Hampden Park the following Sunday. Carver expressed optimism that the new additions would help Scotland build on their recent improvements.
