Liverpool defender Wilson backed to inspire next wave of Scottish kids

Scotland youth coach Ross Mathie says Liverpool defender Danny Wilson can be inspiration for the next wave of youngsters.

Mathie has seen Wilson make a rapid rise from Rangers to Liverpool and says the next generation should take heart from the Scotland cap.

He said: "The bigger clubs do attract the better players because of their facilities and what they can offer.

They used to not get the first-team opportunities but I think that is now beginning to change.

"If the younger players are good enough then they will get a chance. Danny is the perfect example. He got his chance and then moved south."
