Billy Gilmour: Chelsea midfielder's Scotland call-up for Euros 'the stuff of dreams'

Billy Gilmour says it is "the stuff of dreams" to have earned a first Scotland call-up for this summer's Euros.

The 19-year-old Chelsea midfielder was a shock inclusion in Steve Clarke's 26-man squad for the national team's first major finals in 23 years.

Under-21 international Gilmour revealed he was inundated with congratulations - although Euro 2020 rivals at Stamford Bridge were soon on the wind-up.

"I'm just so excited and so proud," he told BBC Scotland.

"Mum and dad are really proud. My little brother, I had text messages from everyone, friends and family. They're all happy and saying they're going to try their best to get tickets.
