George Hirst Joins Scotland Squad for Greece Double-Header
Scotland's national football team has welcomed George Hirst to its squad for the upcoming double-header against Greece. The 24-year-old forward, who recently completed his eligibility switch from England, marks a significant addition to Steve Clarke's team as they prepare for crucial Euro 2024 qualifiers.
Hirst, previously with England's youth setups, has now secured his place in the Scotland squad following the completion of necessary paperwork. His inclusion comes at a pivotal time as Scotland aims to secure their spot in next year's European Championship. The matches against Greece, scheduled for March 2023, are seen as critical stepping stones towards that goal.
Scotland's head coach, Steve Clarke, expressed his satisfaction with Hirst's addition, citing the player's potential to bring new dynamics to the team's attacking line. Hirst's arrival is also a testament to Scotland's ongoing strategy of integrating young talent into the national setup, aiming to build a competitive squad for future tournaments.
