Good piece this morning analysing WBG’s importance to Scotland.

Great article. I see also Pat Nevin on the Beeb was singing his praises.
I really think BBC Sport should ditch their ridiculous ratings thread - WBG finished bottom of all 15 Scots players!

I was going to post both the Guardian article, which might just as well have been headlined “Billy Gilmour is wonderful”.
I also noted that he was bottom of the BBC ratings thing, when pundits and commentators were eulogising about him - Pat Nevin in particular.

I'm afraid that with a couple of exceptions, Billy's biggest problem when he pulls on a Scotland shirt, is the players around him. He still tries to play classy, quick and clever football like he does for us :shrug:
Exactly..took a while for the Scottish defenders to get on the same wave length as BG..kudos for him to keep plugging away until they did though!

love him as a player

I wonder if he's someone who might just stay at Brighton for the long haul- I think we're exactly his level and could also see him as a future captain

And funnily enough Ralston and Hanley can't control simple passes from him like our defenders do

That’s exactly what the Guardian Match report said!
