Lawrence Shankland has been backed by fellow Scotland striker Che Adams, who explained what he is bringing to the role in absence of Lyndon Dykes.
Such is the cut-throat nature of football, and the desperation of every Scotland player to get the nod to represent their country against Germany a week on Friday, you might expect that an injury to one of his main rivals for the striker’s position would not have been entirely unwelcome
What that rather ignores is that Shankland actually played well in many aspects of his game, and performed the duties that are arguably the most integral to the role of playing up top for this Scotland team admirably. “Obviously for Lyndon, to miss such a huge occasion is really disappointing. The boys are wanting to do it for him over there.
“It’s obviously healthy competition. It’s up to everyone to keep working hard and then it’s up to the manager to pick the team. There is a good connection with us off the pitch, it’s like that throughout the group, to be honest, as everyone is friends. That’s what makes the news about Lyndon so hard for everyone.
