Billy Gilmour helps Scotland hold off England in European Championship

London, June 19

Billy Gilmour made his first international start against his team’s biggest rival at European Championship.

And he wasn’t fazed even a wee bit. “I was ready,” the 20-year-old Scotland midfielder said on Friday after helping his team hold England to a 0-0 draw at the European Championship.

“I trained with the squad and all the boys have helped me settle in really well,” Gilmour said. “To come in and play against England my first game — so proud. Then to come here and do really well was even better.”

Gilmour was included in Scotland’s Euro 2020 squad before ever even playing a match for his national team. — AP
